The brewery: Goose Island Beer Company, Chicago, Illinois
Description (from the website): "2025 Bourbon County Brand Original Stout was aged in a blend of freshly emptied barrels from Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, Four Roses, and Wild Turkey. With an average aging time of 14 months, this stout delivers deeply developed flavors of fudge, vanilla, and caramelized sugar—all wrapped in a rich, decadent mouthfeel."
Would I buy it again? Is this cheating, reviewing a new year's version of a beer I had last year? Maybe, but it's my blog and I'm reviewing this. Goose Island treats it separately, so I will too.
Of course, I don't have all that much to add from last year's review. It's still ultra-decadent yet delicious to drink. Perfect for New Year's Eve.
