2020-05-31 Lots and of maple sweetness. Not as complex as I was hoping with Willet on the label and for $40. | |

2021-12-12 Bourbon County Vertical 2021 | |
2021-02-07 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. | |
2020-12-05 Vertical 2020 | |
2020-05-30 Very dark, lots of dark chocolate and sweetness. I think this one was best fresh. | |
2019-12-08 8 year vertical | |
2018-12-15 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 | |
| Drank 12 oz of KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) by Founders Brewing (2019-02-13) | May 29th, 2020 |
2020-05-29 Really good. Lots of coffee at the front, followed by tons of dark chocolate. No loss of flavor after 1 year. | |
2020-05-06 Loads of dark chocolate with a hint of coffee. Finish is roasted malt and lingering dark chocolate. Held up well. | |
2019-03-16 Really good until the very end when bitterness sets in and becomes the only thing lingering on the palette. | |

2023-12-10 Bourbon County Vertical 2023 | |
2023-01-29 Starting to take on some aged characteristics, but not in a bad way. | |
2022-12-04 Bourbon County Vertical 2022 | |
2022-04-07 This is really holding up very well. Lots of barrel, smooth/silky mouthfeel, and lots of chocolate and roasted malt. | |
2021-12-12 Bourbon County Vertical 2021 | |
2020-12-05 Vertical 2020 | |

| Drank 16 oz of Bourbon County Brand Vanilla Stout by Goose Island Beer Co. (2018-09-04) | May 25th, 2020 |
2021-12-12 Bourbon County Vertical 2021
Still tons of vanilla. | |
2021-06-21 Crazy amount of vanilla. | |
2020-05-25 Each one I open has a varying amount of vanilla. This one is like chugging a bottle of vanilla extract; a bit heavy. | |
2020-03-24 Vanilla is still very prominent. The original recipe comes in with rich chocolate and malt on the finish. | |
2018-11-25 Oh wow it that a lot of vanilla that hits right away! Yum. Then the really dark malty, chocolatey flavor from the stout comes in, followed by the booziness of the bourbon barrels. Excellent! | |
| Drank 16 oz of Bourbon County Brand Coffee Barleywine by Goose Island Beer Co. (2018-09-27) | May 25th, 2020 |
2021-05-09 This is better now than I remember it when it was fresh. Lots of coffee, good barleywine base, and lots of dark malt. | |
2020-05-25 Still not worthy of the Bourbon County moniker, but it’s pretty good. Lots of coffee still, even after 2.5 years. Might continue aging the rest, as I think it will get better. | |
2019-03-30 I get the sweet barleywine, but not the aroma of not the flavor of coffee. | |
2018-11-29 Coffee is very strong on the nose and palette. Taste gets darker as it sits. Very boozy. Don’t get the barleywine part of this. Bitter. Disappointed more than I already knew I would be. | |

2019-12-08 8 year vertical | |
2017-11-26 Sadly not as good as 2016, which was not as good as 2015. This has an odd flavor profile and nose. Hoping my other bottles are better. | |

2016-12-01 Great fresh. | |
| Drank 16 oz of Cane Life 2020 - Green Label by Other Half Brewing Co. (2020) | May 17th, 2020 |
2020-05-17 Nose is all coconut. Slightly sweet and loads of coconut in a really good way. Outstanding. | |
| Drank 16 oz of Double Sunset - Ethiopian Yirgz by Other Half Brewing Co. | May 17th, 2020 |
2020-05-17 To me the nose is off putting, but the flavor is good. Sweet with vanilla and coffee. | |
| Drank 16 oz of Bourbon County Brand Stout (2019) by Goose Island Beer Co. (2019-09-03) | May 14th, 2020 |
2020-12-05 Vertical 2020 | |
2020-05-14 Damn. Super dark, thick, boozy, dark chocolate, and roasted malt. Nice job this year, Goose Island! | |
2019-12-08 8 year vertical | |
2019-12-01 2018 was better. Very thin and boozy, caramel on the aftertaste. Missing the rich, roastiness and relaxed by warmth. | |
| Drank 16 oz of Buku Mocha by Aslin Beer Company (2019) | May 11th, 2020 |
2020-05-11 It’s pretty good. I think I liked it more the last time I tried it. Rather thin and just leaves a dark chocolate bitter taste on the tongue. Wouldn’t buy it again. | |
| Drank 12 oz of Cassian Sunset by Central Waters Brewing Company (2016) | May 10th, 2020 |
2021-01-19 Can definitely taste the age on it. Getting chocolate, coffee and cinnamon notes. Dark chocolate lingers long afterwards. | |
2020-05-10 This has lost a lot of its original character in 4 years. A bit of coffee, malt and a subtle cinnamon finish. Will have to try a 2018 for comparison. | |
2016-10-25 Yum | |
| Drank 12 oz of CBS (Canadian Breakfast Stout) by Founders Brewing (2019-10-04) | May 9th, 2020 |
2020-05-09 Lots of sweetness; almost too much. A hint of dark chocolate. Not getting much else flavor-wise. Perhaps when it warms, there will be more. | |
| Drank 12 oz of KBS Espresso by Founders Brewing (2019-11-14) | May 8th, 2020 |
2020-05-08 Lots of dark coffee and malt. Overpowers the usual KBS flavors. | |
2019-12-17 The nose has some coffee, the taste seems like they used coffee during the brewing process instead of adding it. Bitter comes At the end. | |
