At Goose Island, we believe ideas and inspiration can come from anyone in the Goose family, and our Biscotti Stout is a perfect example that came from our very own HR team. Inspired by the Italian desserts of her childhood, Jill Cerone, People Manager at Goose Island, dreamed up this variant after grabbing a box of chocolate-dipped biscotti from her cabinet. Working with the brewing team, Jill brought the flavor to life with notes of anise, marzipan, cocoa, and buttered toffee. The biscotti enhances flavors already found in our Bourbon County Stout and adds strong notes of nostalgia from your Italian grandma’s kitchen. One sip and you’ll be reminded of pizzelle cookies, Easter Pane di Pasqua and, of course, almond biscotti.

6 oz. pour on tap at the Crafty Chameleon Bar. It's an opaque black with nice viscosity, no sparkle, with persistent ring of tan head and trace lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon, anise and marzipan. Taste is strong anise, bourbon, marzipan, late mild chocolate. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with thick, smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, they nailed what they were going for. Spot on biscotti and well balanced.

Black if course. Very much like biscotti. Loads of vanilla. Chocolate and cookie dough sweet and rich with a heavy palate. Excellent pastry stout
