At the heart of each Bourbon County are the wood characteristics we thoughtfully amplify. This year, we took wood complexities to another level by doing something we’ve never done before: we took fully-matured Bourbon County Stout and finished it with toasted fruitwood—specifically, honeycomb-shaped cherry wood chips. The versatility of the cherry wood and honeycomb shape allowed for maximum flavor extraction, revealing complex characteristics like red fruit, ripe cherry, and light toffee, which are not found in the original oak barrel itself. The result is an amazing elevation and a notable difference from our Original Bourbon County Stout.

500ml bottle pours out dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Nose is nice sweet rich fudge dark cherry and plenty bourbon barrel notes. Taste is more of the nice sweet dark rich fudge chocolate cherry and bourbon barrel goodness.

Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2022. Pours black with a dark chocolate brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of bourbon and dark grains with roast and a touch of cherry supporting. Flavor showcases the cherrywood well with bourbon, dark grains and a slightly bitter roast supporting.

Bourbon county cherry wood 2021.
Sampled at Bourbon County Stout Tasting @ Johnny's. Dark brown color, beige head. Aroma and flavor are malts, roasted malts, liquor and something odd which I guess is the cherry wood or cherry stone? Solid. 8-7,5-7-8-8.

Fles geprobeerd met Keukeman en Benzai op een tasting bij Addictee2craftBeer. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een dun schuim. Het heeft een aroma van gebrande mout en hout met een hint chocolade. De smaak is vol, houtig, chocolade en een hint van kersen.

Bottle from BCBS horizontal. Pours dark brown with a thin layer of beige head. Aroma is sweet and roasty, woody, boozy. taste is more of the same, dark chocolate, sweet, bourbon with light fruity notes. A bit more woody than the normal BCBS, as to be expected from the title.

Bottle big thanks to Billy. It pours darkest brown to black with a decent tan head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, roasted malt, cola, dark fruits, rocky road, vanilla, cake frosting, toasted coconut, jammy berry, victoria sponge, blackcurrant, cherry and black forest gateaux. The taste is bitter - sweet, slick, tangy, chewy, toothy, brownie, dark fruits, cherry drops, ripeness, black forest gateaux, vanilla, warming alcohol, toothy, chewy, touch of oak spice, rocky road and earth with a toasty dark fruit finish. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. Fun stuff.
