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.

16.9 oz. bottle. Pours black, with a big, rocky, brown head. The nose is dark chocolate, surprisingly hot ginger, coconut cream, and butterscotch toffee. Sweet and sugary, with a burnt, sticky bitterness. Heavy body, syrupy and thick. Kinda hot. Aggressive and interesting.

Very well balanced coconut, vanilla and oak. Couldn't really find the ginger.

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.
