Goose Island Bourbon County Barleywine Ale

English Barley Wine, special | 12.1% ABV

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION:

Aged in the third-use barrels that were once home to Kentucky bourbon and then our renowned Bourbon County Stout, this traditional English-style barleywine possesses the subtlety of flavor that only comes from a barrel that's gone through many seasons of ritual care. The intricacies of the previous barrel denizens - oak, charcoal, hints of tobacco and vanilla, and that signature bourbon heat - are all present in this beer. Hearty and complex, Bourbon County Brand Barleywine is a titan and a timeline; a bold, flavorful journey through the craft of barrel aging.
