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.

Sat on this bottle longer than expected! Always reliable sweet barrel deliciousness. Medium light bodied chicory chocolatey thang.

Magus, mõru, röstine, siirupine, vaniljene, kohvine, šokolaadine, tihke, kompleksne, ei ütleks, et 10 aastat vana. Hea, peaks pärinema ajast kui goose island ei olnud veel makro.

0,5l bottle at home. Vintage 2015. black color, small coffee colored head. smells bourbon, vanilla, some glue, some soy sauce, peppery. nice to very nice smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes soy sauce, nutty, marzipan, vanilla, bit fudgy, light bourbon, peppery, alcohol lightly noticeable. finishes lightly sweet and lightly boozy with notes of vanilla, bourbon, marzipan and nutty notes. very good one, tad soy sauceish, but not too bad. no infection. Less soy sauce when it warms, but also gets heavier then.
