Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Mon Cheri Stout (2019) – “Mon Chéri” means “my darling” in French and this recipe is a love letter from Goose Island’s Brewer, Quinn, to his wife who loves cherries.

With one sip you’ll instantly get flavors of cherry cobbler, vanilla, and chocolate, followed by a silky, velvety finish. 13.5% ABV / Chicago, IL / Availability: Limited (Friday)
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Café de Olla Stout (2019) – Café de Olla is inspired by the traditional Mexican beverage of the same name. Goose Island added coffee beans and cold coffee to the Original Bourbon County Stout and then enhanced this beer further through additions of cassia bark, orange peel, and panela sugar. The resulting beer is layered in complexity. Coffee and orange permeate the nose and are followed by notes of cinnamon, chocolate, and a pleasant sweetness. 13.5% ABV / Chicago, IL / Availability: Limited (Friday)
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout (2019)– This year’s Bourbon County Stout, aged in a mix of Heaven Hill, Buffalo Trace, and Wild Turkey barrels, yields a rich, complex mouthfeel.
