About this release

Powerful Imperial Stout from the Bourbon County Reserve series by Goose Island Beer Co., the legendary brewery from Chicago. This beer is aged in 100% Rittenhouse Rye bourbon barrels, which gives this stout a unique and complex flavor profile. The rye bourbon barrels bring pronounced notes of ripe fruit, spiciness and bourbon to the fore, while the characteristic dark malt character is fully preserved. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, this is a full, rich stout that is more than worthy of patient aging in these special barrels. Goose Island has been known as a pioneer in the American craft beer scene since 1988 and has distinguished itself through innovative approaches. The Bourbon County Brand Stout series is among their most respected creations and was one of the first beers to be aged in bourbon barrels at the time, which made the brewery internationally recognized. This 500ml bottle offers an excellent opportunity to discover this complex, traditional American craft beer. The balance between the full malt, the subtle fruitiness and the bourbon warmth makes this a beer for enthusiasts who appreciate artisanal perfection and decades of brewing expertise. An absolute must-have for collectors and connoisseurs of premium craft beer from Chicago.
