After crafting the very first bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout, Goose Island has learned that to have the best beer, you start with the best possible ingredients. Barrels are such an important ingredient and they continue to use only the best their friends on the bourbon trail have to offer. 2024 Bourbon County Brand Original Stout is aged in a mix of freshly emptied bourbon barrels from Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, Four Roses and Wild Turkey distilleries. Barrel-aged for an average of 16 months, Bourbon County Brand Original Stout boasts deeply developed flavors of fudge, vanilla and caramelized sugar with a rich, decadent mouthfeel.
