Vertical 2020 - Not as good as the 2013, but still great.

Not as good as the 2013 and 2015, but still really good. Hopefully next year it will smooth out even more.

Something’s not quite right about this one. Not infected, but it’s like all the malt dropped out and all that’s left is the booze. Weird...
2018-11-09
Still great after 3 years. Better than 2016/2017. More molasses; newer ones are thinner.
2018-01-22
Tasting great after 2 years of aging. Happy Birthday to me!
2016-12-01
Really great aged even only 1 year.

Super smooth, complex, boozy, chocolatey, and delicious. Left it a bit warmer than usual and that allows the flavors I love to shine right away.

Mmmm. Welcome back my old friend. This is the BC I fell in love with but haven’t had since 2014. Dark, malty, bourbony booziness. Yum

2018 was better. Very thin and boozy, caramel on the aftertaste. Missing the rich, roastiness and relaxed by warmth.

Still tastes amazing after all these years. Wow!
2018-02-04
Held up extremely well still very boozy, great flavor and unlike 2015+ BCS, not thin.
2017-04-06
Amazing. Tastes almost like the regular from those days, but smoother. Wish I bought the last one on the shelf too!
Drank 16 oz of Proprietor's Bourbon County Brand Stout (2020) by Goose Island Beer Co. (2020-10-16)November 26th, 2020

The nose was a little iffy, smelling a little sour. Thankfully that’s not the case and the flavor is incredible. At first, you get the cherry flavor and sweetness, followed by a subtle hint of the pistachios, and then the cacao nibs, malt and barrel come on full force. This is excellent!
Drank 16 oz of So Happens It's Tuesday by The Bruery (2020-09-02)November 19th, 2020
2020-11-01
This is very good. Lots of bourbon, sweetness from the vanilla and chocolate, a hint of tartness from the cherries, thickness and sweetness from the molasses. Will have to get more of these.
Drank 12 oz of Bamburana by Oskar Blues / Cigar City (2019-01-10)November 19th, 2020
2024-05-24
Still tastes great. Starting to detect a hint of age, but not in a bad way.
2023-03-25
Still tastes as I remember it. Sad they haven’t made this again.
2022-10-24
Holding up really well.
2020-11-19
Still so good.
2020-04-07
Holding up nicely so far. Still strong whiskey and fig flavors, with malt on the finish.
2019-03-17
Really interesting. Bold malty flavor, softened by the brandy and made slightly sharp by the whiskey. Sweetness from the figs and dates.
Drank 16 oz of Bourbon County Brand Mon Chéri Stout by Goose Island Beer Co. (2019-08-25)November 15th, 2020
2023-05-28
Still lots of mildly bitter cherry. Not my favorite BC, but still good.
2020-11-15
Has definitely changed a little in the last year. Cherry is still forward, but not overpowering and not too sweet. The dark chocolate and malt come in powerfully after the cherry and linger through the finish, with a little hint of the cherry on the back.
2020-04-25
The cherry flavors kind of resemble similar notes to aged BCBS, but with a bit more sweetness and a touch of tartness. While not my favorite variant, it’s pretty solid.
Drank 12 oz of Underground Mountain Brown by Founders Brewing (2020-08-26)November 4th, 2020
2024-09-29
Starting to lose a little something. Presented a little more bitterness than I remember. Probably best fresh.
Drank 12 oz of Black Forest by Alewerks Brewing Company (2019-06-24)November 2nd, 2020
2019-10-01
Lots of chocolate and cherries. Very dark. Interesting. The chocolate lingers on the back of the tongue.
Drank 12 oz of Stillwater Is Nothing Big Bunny Is Everything by Stillwater Artisanal AlesNovember 2nd, 2020
2016-09-06
Light mouthfeel, not heavy. Dark roasty malty flavor with some chocolate bitterness on the finish. Very interesting.
