About this release

A double pastry stout from 2022, aged on bourbon barrels with cacao nibs, anise seed and roasted almonds. This beer is an ode to Italian biscotti: rich almond cake, licorice, pure chocolate and a subtle anise note. The bourbon barrels add warmth and depth to this deliciously complex dessert beer. This exceptional beer comes from Goose Island Beer Co. from Chicago, a pioneer in the American craft beer scene since 1988. Goose Island has become world-famous for their innovative approach to brewing, especially with their iconic Bourbon County Brand Stout series, with which they pioneered aging beers on bourbon barrels. This beer is a perfect example of that craftsmanship and creativity. With an alcohol content of 14.3 percent, this 500ml bottle offers a rich and indulgent experience. The combination of cacao nibs, anise seed and roasted almonds creates a complex aroma profile that becomes apparent in every sip. This barrel-aged stout is ideal for quiet moments and pairs excellently with chocolate dishes, biscotti or as a decadent conclusion to a meal. For collectors and lovers of complex, full-flavored stouts, this vintage from the Goose Island archives is an absolute must-have.
