In 2010, we released the first-ever Bourbon County Stout variants and our Goose Island Bourbon County Coffee Stout has been a fan favorite ever since. For the first time since 2017, we brought back a coffee variant this year in partnership with our friends and neighbors Intelligentsia Coffee. Intelligentsia relies on Burundi for some of the cleanest, sweetest coffees in the world that ultimately complement the quality and tasting notes of Bourbon County Stout. The specific coffee blend combined with our Imperial Stout is called Turihamwe, which means “together”, and is a perfect tribute to all the hands that go into making it – from the female coffee farmers in Burundi that produced the blend, to our friends at Intelligentsia, the first brand we worked with on a variant back in 2010. The result of this “togetherness” is another exceptional coffee variant featuring rich chocolate, coffee, and caramel flavors that will appeal to coffee drinkers and beer lovers alike.

Een van de flessen waarmee Nederland opeens werd overspoeld, tegen zeer schappelijke prijzen. Schenkt zwart met een kleine, maar standvastige bruine kraag. Geur van gebrande koffie, umami, bourbon, hout, zoetig, boozy, alles vormt weer een mooi gebalanceerd geheel. In de mond is er nog wat meer koffie, maar ook wat fruit. Smaak is zoetig (minder zoet dan de standaard BCBS), gebrande koffie, bitterig, boozy, vleugje koffiezuur. Medium tot volle body. Alcohol is wel vrij heet. Lange afdronk met veel koffie, middelmatig bitter.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Strong coffee and bourbon, roasted malt, chocolate, espresso, booze. Medium sweet, bit boozy, full body with a somewhat sticky feel. Lovely.

Taster showing pitch black with sparse white foam.

The nose shows intense notes of espresso and mocha.

The palate is well carbonated and full bodied. Moderately sweet with intense notes of burnt toast and espresso. Moderate espresso bitterness on the finish.

Bottle from 2022, cellared and opened on 10/6/25. Pours black with small brown head that fades to a collar quickly. Overt roast and cold pressed coffee aroma and flavor. Harsh and bitter finish.

wow. coffee in fact dominates the aroma, followed by bourbon and roasted malts, coconut peppery note that blends with the alcohol. faint 99% dark chocolate,
flavor is coffee , roasted malts, bourbon (faint) coconut, faint tartness from the coffee, faint licorice, very faint cake frosting (sort of aromatic vanilla ish)
quite interesting and not like the other bourbon county stouts i've tasted recently. more dry and less woody, certainly less bourbony. they managed to balance the beer even though the coffee is insane in this one. tastes good. perhaps a tiny bit watery for a strong imp stout. Very tasty indeed anyways.

Malm� May 2024 tasting - prominent coffee roast with notes of cocoa nibs, toasted brown sugar, nice full body and mouthfeel, solid coffee roasted and bourbon infused malty lingering finish. Opulent and satisfying.
