Description
Goose Island Beer Company began as a single brewpub opened in 1988 by John Hall. By 1995, John’s beer had become so popular that he decided to open a larger brewery, along with a bottling plant to keep up with demand. 1999 brought even more growth, along with an additional brewpub, and today, what was once one man’s pint-filled dream has become the Goose Island empire you know and love.

in 2011, Goose Island Beer Company was acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev. Since then, we’ve continued to brew beer that we’re proud of and now we get to share these beers with our friends both nationwide and internationally.

Bouteille 50cl à Belgian Summer Beer Gathering, merci.
Anno 2021. Noire, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un bouquet qui reprend les grandes lignes de ce gros stout de Bourbon County – toujours la maîtrise de la barrique avec de fins effluves de vanille avec en retrait un rétro-nasal épicé – cannelle, réglisse/anisé, vanille, barrique – caramel, toffee, chocolat.
Palais est profond malté – profond, barrique plaisant avec une petite note d’épices en fin de bouche rappelant la cannelle, girofle, coriandre et léger réglisse avec une douceur de barrique qui tend à donner qcq indications de vanille.

Can shared at "ZZT nieuw leven in blazen"-tasting. Opaque black color, small to average sized dark brown colored head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma and flavor are malts, soft roast, red fruit, a light cherry stone bitterness, distant chocolate hint. Okay.

The aromas are slightly skanky malt, MJ and stone fruit. Flavors are similar to nose. Add in a bit of pineapple. Mildly sweet up front with a bitter finish. Not too balanced. Drinkable but I wouldn't want another.
