About this release

Imperial Stout inspired by the classic dessert Cherries Jubilee, aged in bourbon and cognac barrels. This stout started in fresh bourbon barrels for rich oak, vanilla and bakery spices, and was finished in cognac barrels for elegant notes of dried fruit. Blended with Montmorency cherries, citrus and panela, resulting in a velvety smooth stout with flavors of candied dark cherry, soft vanilla and a caramelized citrus finish. This masterpiece comes from Goose Island Beer Co., an American brewery from Chicago that has been known as a pioneer in the craft beer scene since 1988. Goose Island made waves with their legendary Bourbon County Brand Stout, one of the first American beers aged in bourbon barrels, and this legacy of innovation is evident in every sip of this Cherries Jubilee variant. With a solid 14.5% alcohol, this is an intense, complex stout that invites contemplation. The combination of the fruity cherry character with the rich vanilla and oak notes makes this a particularly elegant beer that you don't come across every day. Perfect for those who love daring, well-balanced dessert beers.
