About this release

Intense Imperial Stout, aged in freshly emptied Bardstown straight rye whiskey barrels and subsequently finished in hybrid oak and cherry wood casks. The collaboration with Bardstown Bourbon Company delivers pronounced notes of cherry, roasted oak, and spicy, herbal whiskey tones. This impressive beer comes from Goose Island Beer Co. from Chicago, a pioneer in the American craft beer scene since 1988. Goose Island has made a name for itself worldwide with their innovative approach to barrel-aged beers, of which the Bourbon County Brand Stout has become a classic. With this Bardstown Cask Finish Stout, the brewery continues that tradition by employing a unique double aging process. With an alcohol content of 16%, this is a full, complex Imperial Stout that lends itself perfectly to slow, savoring sips. The combination of bourbon and rye whiskey barrels combined with cherry wood gives this beer a characterful, rich flavor profile. The notes of cherry, roasted oak, and spicy whiskey make this a beer for the serious stout lover seeking depth and complexity. A 500 milliliter bottle, ideal for sharing or to let the intense flavors really shine. This is craft beer at the highest level, where tradition and innovation meet.
