2014 Bourbon County Brand Stout
Goose Island Beer Co.
Chicago
ABV: 13.8%
From the moment the liquid black velvet hits the glass strong notes of toasted coconut, dark chocolate and caramel rise and combine into a delightful candy bar sensation. With a thick mouthfeel and a mocha-colored head that fizzled from a fluffy head to thin skin in seconds, the flagship brand is ready to drink right away.
The alcohol content becomes more apparent as the beer warms, and a prickly booze sensation hits the tongue. Here is when the wood from the barrels comes alive and really shines. Those new to this beer will be impressed; return drinkers won’t be disappointed.
