2025 Bourbon County Brand Original Stout was aged in a blend of freshly emptied barrels from Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, Four Roses, and Wild Turkey. With an average aging time of 14 months, this stout delivers deeply developed flavors of fudge, vanilla, and caramelized sugar—all wrapped in a rich, decadent mouthfeel.

Draft at Harry’s Hofbrau. Rich, boozy and slightly chocolate in both aroma and flavor. Dusted chocolate comes out more on the flavor. This is one of the best years that I can remember….and certainly bests the 2015!

2025 bottle from a 4-pack. Pours a pitch black with chestnut highlights and a small beige head that lingers. Marzipan all over the nose with some oak, bourbon and vanilla notes as it warms. Palate is very similar, lots of marzipan notes - vanilla, bourbon and more marzipan. Boozy finish. Not bad, but not as good as recent years.
