Goose Island Bourbon County Stout

[scottbtdmb]

Has anyone on here tried it? This stuff is 14% and is an imperial stout aged in whiskey barrels. I find that drinking it at around 55-60 degrees with a heavy English/Balkan (i.e. Abingdon) is pure bliss. Normally, drinking bourbon with pipes is a little self defeating to me, as the bourbob tends to overpower. However, drinking bourbon aged stouts like Bourbon County is perfect, because while you still get a nice kick of bourbon in the taste, it is not too overwhelming while smoking a pipe, unless you are smoking something mild.

Never had this one but I love Goose Island beers. Had them all the time when I lived in Chicago. Honker's Ale was my favorite. Alas not available here in Tennessee.
