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.

12/X/25 - 1Pt. 0.9Fl. Oz. bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde (St. Niklaas) @ home, BB: 9/IX/29, GI 14:29 (2025-1006) Thanks to the other Musketeers for sharing the bottles!
Clear dark brown, beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: deep strong roast, quite some coconut up front, dark chocolate, lots of dried shiitake mushrooms, some soy sauce, very earthy. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet sugary start, gentle roast, chocolate, coconut, some caramel, a hint of vanilla, very sweet, alcohol, very dry roast after that. Aftertaste: sweet and sugary, chocolate notes, slightly oxidized, some soy sauce, lots of coconut, more dark chocolate, a bit earthy in the finish, still sugary, nice!

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.

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
