Every year since its inception in 1992, we strive to honor the original Bourbon County Stout recipe. And, 30 years later, we continue Gregory Hall’s legacy and passion for making the best beer possible, starting with the best barrels the bourbon trail has to offer. This year, our Imperial Stout is aged and blended from freshly emptied bourbon barrels from Heaven Hill, Four Roses, Wild Turkey, and Buffalo Trace distilleries. Expect flavors of vanilla, dark chocolate, toffee, molasses, almond, and dried fruit.

Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Impenetrable black body with a few flecks beneath a beige head that fades. Low carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of blackcurrant, bourbon and soy sauce. Flavour of nuts, roasted malt, bourbon and prune. Medium to full body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Complex and delicious. This has held up well for being a nine-year-old beer.
