Drank 16 oz of Bourbon County Brand Stout (2020) by Goose Island Beer Co. (2020-09-22)July 23rd, 2025
2025-01-26
This one has not held up as well as others. Mouthfeel is a bit thin and while there’s barrel left on it, there’s a hint of bitterness as well. Hoping it gets better as it warms.

With Phil in Colorado during steak night.

Bourbon County Vertical 2023

Not my favorite year, but crazy depth of flavor and very boozy.

Bourbon County Vertical 2021

Tons of dark chocolate, malt, and bourbon goodness. Decadent and rich.

Drank 16 oz of Bourbon County Reserve 150 Stout (2021) by Goose Island Beer Co. (2021-07-25)July 5th, 2025
2025-07-05
This is still excellent and while age is very slightly perceptible, it hasn’t lost any of its positive qualities and flavors.
2022-09-24
This is still excellent. Incredibly rich and decadent, with a nice warmth from the barrel.

Drinking this along with a sample of Old Forester 150, the same barrels this was aged in. What a pairing! Thanks Richard!!!
2021-12-31
This is the clear winner for the 2021 lineup. Sadly I never got to try the OF 150 bourbon this beer was aged in barrels of, but now I want to even more than before. Low carbonation, but depth of flavor. Tons of barrel. Enjoying it even more as it warms.
Drank 12 oz of Shamrock Stout by Goose Island Beer Co. (2025-02-11)June 29th, 2025
2025-06-29
Very Bourbon County-esque. Hint of mint, but not too strong.
Drank 22 oz of Dragon's Milk D20 Brew by New Holland Brewing Company (2024-09-18)June 10th, 2025
2025-06-10
This was really good, and I would definitely purchase it again, despite the high price. Slightly on the thin side for a barrel, aged stout, but as it warmed especially, it didn’t seem to matter.
Drank 12 oz of Mezca-Limon by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2021)June 8th, 2025
2025-06-08
It’s sweet, it’s slightly tart, it’s boozy, and it’s got a smoky finish…but not the same smoke in mezcals or peaty whiskeys (which I don’t like). Not something I’d seek out again, but very interesting.
Drank 12 oz of Tequila Barrel Sunrise by Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (2021)June 8th, 2025
2025-06-08
This is one of those that’s interesting and generally good, but not one I’d look for again. Very boozy but not in a bad way. Definitely getting the orange and hibiscus, but not getting flavors of tequila nor barleywine. The finish is slightly sweet.
Drank 12 oz of KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) by Founders Brewing (2020-10-14)June 7th, 2025
2025-06-07
Held up better than the base beer typically does for 5 years. Slight sense of age, but still great.
2022-04-21
Lots of dark chocolate and roasty malt with a hint of sweetness from the maple and booziness from the barrel.
2020-10-31
Founders knocked it out of the park with this one. Loads of chocolate, very rich, no bitterness. Only a few sips in, but looking forward to seeing how it changes with some warmth.
Drank 12 oz of Tweak (Bourbon Barrel) by Avery Brewing Company (2016-11-14)May 10th, 2025
2025-05-10
For being 9 years old, it’s held up very well. The coffee isn’t perceptible anymore, but the flavors are still very good.
2024-02-25
This has held up amazingly well. Lots of coffee and velvety mouthfeel with a dark chocolate finish that lingers on the palate. I’m glad they started making these again.
2017-10-05
Nice malty, roasty, coffee flavor and boozy. Yum
Drank 12 oz of Poet's Walk by Suarez Family Brewery (2023)May 4th, 2025
2025-05-04
This tastes like there’s quite a bit of age on it. Flavors of dates and malt, but not heavy. Booziness is only apparent on the finish.
Drank 16 oz of Bloodless X by Root + Branch (2024-12-26)May 2nd, 2025
2025-05-02
This has short, but good flavor, despite being a bit thin for the style. The finish is equally as short but has good flavor notes.
Drank 16 oz of Stereo Sets: The Red Tape by 3 Sons Brewing CoApril 19th, 2025
2025-04-19
Not nearly as bitter as I thought it would be. Not a ton of flavor.
Drank 25 oz of Black Ops by Brooklyn Brewery (2015)April 3rd, 2025
2025-04-03
Past its prime for sure. Was drinkable, but probably this shouldn’t be aged more than 5 years.
Drank 22 oz of Black Friday by Lakefront Brewery (2021)April 3rd, 2025
Drank 12 oz of Dapper Rye by Goose Island Beer Co. (2024)March 25th, 2025
Drank 12 oz of Supermassive Cafe Deth by Revolution Brewing LLC (2024-04-24)March 15th, 2025
2025-03-15
Subtle coffee flavor, bold BA stout, very rich, a bit of sweetness. Flavors of coffee, malt, and milk sugar linger on the palate.
