About this release

Very complex Imperial Stout with a double barrel-aging from the legendary Goose Island Beer Co. from Chicago. This beer is first matured for one year in Elijah Craig Small Batch bourbon barrels and then aged for another year in Elijah Craig Toasted Bourbon Barrels, resulting in an exceptionally layered taste experience. With an alcohol content of 16 percent, this is a stout with serious character. Goose Island, founded in 1988, is known as a pioneer in the American craft beer scene and revolutionized the genre with their Bourbon County Brand Stout, one of the first beers to be aged in bourbon barrels. That legacy of innovation and craftsmanship is clearly evident in this toasted barrel variant. The Chicago brewery has worked on and perfected this style for decades, resulting in a world-class beer. Alongside classic notes of chocolate, caramel and vanilla, tones of roasted marshmallow, fruit and oak wood come prominently to the fore. The double barrel-aging creates a rich, complicated drink that demands and deserves attention. This is a beer for lovers of intense, full-bodied Imperial Stouts with depth and complexity. Perfect for the end of a day or as a closing glass at culinary evenings.
