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.

Bottle @ Bad Seed Beer Fest, 2025. Pours Black with bubbles on top. Really sweet with a lot of spices and stuff we really dont need in here. Almost ruined. Stop messing about. This almost perfect base beer struggles here.

Bottle at Juova.
Poured pitch black in color, thin off white head.
Bourbon nose is lovely. Flavor has coconut, some roasted malts. Round mouthfeel. Warming, some heat from the ABV.

500 ml bottle. Thanks Brian and TJ on the share. Aroma is a huge amount of ginger, and maybe trace coconut. The ginger is so strong that it nearly drowns out the bourbon. Almost hard to find the barrel. Real huge disappointment.

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

Bottleshare at CBJ, thanks to Wingman for the bottle. Near clear dark brown beer, tidy pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine carbonation. Rich chocolate malts, good dark chocolate malt cream. Rich fruity spicy ripe fruity bourbon with a ripe fruitiness. Soft coconut, boozy. Smooth finish. Nice.
