Proprietor’s Bourbon County Brand Stout is meant to show our immense gratitude to our neighbors here in Chicago – the loyal and adventurous fans whose support helped bring Bourbon County Brand Stout to towering new heights. Each year this release will differ from the previous year; a special variant created for Chicago and unique to the year it was released. Whether your first sip is today or was from that first batch in 1992, thank you for lifting us up on your big shoulders and joining us every year to celebrate the original bourbon barrel aged stout.

This year’s Proprietor’s explores the broad spectrum of chocolate. Using a combination of dark chocolate and two types of cocoa nibs, this rich and decadent beer highlights the whole range of chocolate from smooth and silky milk chocolate flavors to deep and earthy dark chocolate.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color ale with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of fudge with some heavy chocolate notes with some vanilla and bourbon notes. Taste is a great mix of pure liquid fudge with a heavy dose of chocolate, residual sugar notes with some bourbon and light vanilla notes also perceptible. Body is full with think texture and good carbonation with no real alcohol being apparent. One of the best version of County Stout that I’ve the chance to try.

500ml bottle from a trade. Dry, earthy and heavy with loads of chocolate, cocoa nibs, vanilla, bourbon, oak, hints of sweetish berries. Massive amounts of cocoa and chocolate. Pretty nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of Proprietor's Bourbon County Brand Stout (2018) on 29 Mar 2019 at 18:11 - Score: 9

Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours black with no head. The aroma is strong fudge brownie, roast, bourbon, vanilla. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, nice boozy finish, enjoyed this.
