Sampled at the brewery alongside HuskerTan and MetalNHopHead. Pours pitch black with no head. Aromas of the characteristic coconut flakes, subtle bourbon, slight roast, vanilla, and traces of subtle spiced rum.
Taste is straight up coconut, bourbon, vanilla, dark melted chocolate and butter, roasted coffee beans, and again subtle rum notes. Body is full and thick, creamy. Bold bastard right here.
I have sampled Goose Island Bourbon County Stout - Proprietor’s 2013 several times. I got to say this stout has Prop 2013 beat. This was by far the best beer I sampled in all of my 2017 Lincoln, NE trip. Wonderfully crafted.

Draft. A- Toasted coconut, chocolate, subtle rum. A- Black color, black liquid, tan head. T- Coconut, chocolate, almond joy, mild sweetness. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- The barrel aging seems minimal although there is a touch of rum, just not much bourbon. Still damn good though. Lots of toasted coconut and chocolate and not too sweet either. I can’t say enough good about this beer. Easily up there with other coconut stouts, like Ballast Point Coconut Victory at Sea and Oskar Blue Death by Coconut. Really good stuff. These guys do stouts very very well.
