The fabled Cuvee of Darkness is back! As dark as a black hole and as thick as the oil pumping through a 409 big block. Blended using variants of Bourbon County Brand Stout from 2011-2016 including Cherry, Vanilla, Rare, and Barleywine.

Pour was jet black and oily. Thick mouthfeel. Very complex flavors with just the right amount of bourbon(not too hot) and barrel. If you live BCBS, this was better!

As a huge Bourbon County fanatic, I was beyond grateful for the opportunity to try this. An amazing blend that kept the superb mouthfeel and richness the series is known for while adding subtle but noticeable complexity from some of the variants used. Having had nearly every release going back to 2006, this pushed above the best of the line for me. I hope Goose continues to experiment with these blends and push them out every once in a while.
