There is nothing quite like the comforting aroma that fills the home when baking with family. Inspired by late nights in the kitchen with Mom, Goose Island employee Paul Spiller sought to capture that sweet moment in this year’s newest member of the Bourbon County Brand Stout family.
2024 Bourbon County Brand Macaroon Stout is an imperial stout aged for a full year in bourbon barrels before adding rich cocoa nibs, sweet candied ginger and toasted coconut. This decadent stout is an homage to the flavors of homemade coconut macaroons with a twist of nostalgia.

Chocolate, ginger, coconut, bourbon. Taste follows, much more palatable than the vanilla rye. This was ok.

Smooth, sweetish and slightly roasty with some dry earthiness, hints of coconut, vanilla, caramel and cocoa, faint notes of licorice. Okay

Intense. Lovely.
