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.

330ml bottle @ monthly beer share, July 2020. Excellent grainy chocolatey wonder. Have only tried the Monks cafe version before. Good to try the 14.7% original.

Bottle, 2021, 14%. Color: Black, thin beige head. Aroma: Bourbon, vanilla, roasted malt. Taste: Roasted malt, mocha, hints of chocolate. Very nicely combined with Bourbon, vanilla and boozy notes from the BA. Medium sweet, moderate to medium bitterness. Great balance, nice complexity. Creamy and warming mouthfeel. Full body, soft carbonation. Great beer.

500ml bottle. Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived, fizzy tan head. The aroma is roasty, warm boozy bourbon. The flavour is strong sweet and liquorice bitter, with a silky smooth, rich, roasty, oily, chocolate, light vanilla, oaky, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Full bodied with average to soft carbonation.
