500ml bottle. Heavy, warming and sweetish with loads of barrel, bourbon, oak, vanilla, wood, toffee, syrup, caramel, molasses, chocolate, cocoa and warming alcohol. Complex, super well balanced and tasty. Awesome stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bourbon County Brand Double Barrel Stout (2019) on 29 May 2021 at 14:54 - Score: 9. Original review text: Lovely barrel notes. Super well balanced and much more complex than regular one

About 4 Ounce draft at the official tasting in Philadelphia. The aroma is a boatload of oak, char, fresh bourbon. The base stout is here as expected. The head brewer in Philadelphia said this came in right under 18%. I mean in the flavor this is the most bourbon forward of all of the 2019 variance. ( as expected). Real good but massively bourbon forward.

From the bottle at Goose Island Philadelphia for the $120 tasting they had with drinks & food. 4ish ounces? a lighter brown edges on the glass. doesn't have the oily look I'm used to. That is a TON of oak! almost firey. wowzerz. This is not quite as complex as 2015's BCS Rare but it surprisingly has a lot more barrel, more carbonation (thank goodness) and a more stout, campfire, charcoal like flavor. It's really delicious sippable and worth savoring. IT's a 2person beer for sure. Not sure I'd want a full bottle myself. The 18% ABV...well hidden.

A deep dark stout with no head, oily. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with loads of licorice, bourbon barrel, soy, very nice and complex. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with loads of licorice, aniseed, dark fruits, alcohol warmth, very nice and complex. On tap at brewery.
Cheers Dan!
