Consumption History
When
Drank 16 oz of Heavy Crown by Torch & Crown Brewing Company (2019-12-16)March 29th, 2020
2020-03-29
This is a burst of coffee and tastes really good. The only negative is the bitterness that comes on the finish. Would love a BA version.
Drank 16 oz of Bourbon County Brand Vanilla Stout by Goose Island Beer Co. (2018-09-04)March 24th, 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 Midnight Orange by Goose Island Beer Co. (2018-09-20)March 22nd, 2020

More chocolate than orange now. Still good.
2022-06-07
Definitely starting to show its age and the orange has changed a bit, but there’s plenty orange left and the base beer shines through beautifully.
2020-09-08
Still tons of orange. Super dark, chocolatey, malty, and sticky on the lips. I hope they make this again someday.
2020-06-13
Orange is still strong at the front. Holding up well.
2020-03-22
This one seems to have lost a bit of carbonation and the Orange has faded a bit. I bought this one more recently so maybe not stored well.
Drank 16 oz of Hydro Dipping by Woodstock Brewing (2019-10-17)March 21st, 2020
2020-03-21
Lots of sediment, but I guess it’s to be expected since it’s 5 months old. Not my favorite from them, but good.
Drank 12 oz of Double Bag Ale by Long Trail Brewing Co (2018-01-16)March 17th, 2020
2020-03-17
The top of the bottle cracked when I opened it. Shards of glass everywhere, so couldn’t even try it, but doubt I would’ve liked it.
Drank 12 oz of Sam '76 by Boston Beer Company (2019-09)March 17th, 2020
Drank 12 oz of Fayston Maple Imperial Stout by Lawson's Finest Liquids (2019-11-04)March 14th, 2020
2020-03-14
Been looking for this for years. Not what I expected, or perhaps not as good as the hype years ago. Thin, roasted malt heavy, little sweet.
Drank 16 oz of Bourbon County Brand Stout (2016) by Goose Island Beer Co. (2016-10-07)March 12th, 2020

Starting to take on some aged characteristics, but not in a bad way.

Bourbon County Vertical 2022

This is really holding up very well. Lots of barrel, smooth/silky mouthfeel, and lots of chocolate and roasted malt.
2021-12-12

Drank 22 oz of Leap Day Stout by Blue Point Brewing (2020-02-29)March 8th, 2020
2020-03-08
Beer share at Mike’s. Was good, not great. Maple forward, not much of any coffee. Will age the other one a few years and see if it gets any better, but doubtful since it’s already been in the bottle 4 years.
Drank 12 oz of Yule Mælk Bourbon Barrel Aged by To Øl (2019)January 27th, 2020
2020-01-27
Strange nose, very strong raisiny flavor with bourbon heat. A little too sweet, but not bad.
Drank 25 oz of CBS (Canadian Breakfast Stout) by Founders Brewing (2017)January 21st, 2020
2020-01-21
Beer share at Mike R’s. Really good, as usual
2017-12-01
Tastes just like KBS to me so far. Gonna let it warm a bit. So far not getting any maple syrup flavor
Drank 25 oz of KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) by Founders Brewing (2018-02-08)January 21st, 2020
2020-06-16
Still tastes great with lots of chocolate and coffee.
2020-01-21
Beer share at Mike R’s - bottle neck smelled like red onions. Beer was ok, but not as good as usual.
Drank 16 oz of Entropy by Woodstock Brewing (2019-10-17)January 19th, 2020
Drank 12 oz of KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) by Founders Brewing (2016-02-12)January 18th, 2020
2024-02-18
Lots of coffee and dark chocolate. Definitely taste the age, but still enjoyable.
2022-11-30
Definitely taste the age. Still tons of coffee. Best fresh.
2020-05-04
This was their off year. I will say while it wasn’t good overall, it seems to have held up to where it was back then. Still best fresh.
2020-01-18
Either this was the off year or this didn’t hold up well. Flavors aren’t right. Maybe it will improve as it warms.
2018-04-16
2 years later, it still hasn't improved much.
2018-01-06
Slightly better than it was when fresh, but still not up to the standards of other years.
2017-04-05
It now has a year on it and hasn't improved much. This year's is fantastic; 2016 still is not.
2016-09-08
Still not any better. I think this year's batch will need 2-3 years before it tastes decent.
