Goose Island - Bourbon County Stout 2025 – Cherries Jubilee Stout

🍒 Bourbon County Stout 2025 – Cherries Jubilee Stout

A Bold, Luxurious Twist on a Legendary Barrel-Aged Classic

Concept & Background

The Bourbon County Stout series from Goose Island Beer Company has long reigned as one of America’s most iconic barrel-aged stouts — known for deep complexity, rich roast character, and potent bourbon warmth. The “Cherries Jubilee” variant reimagines that foundation through a decadent, fruit-forward lens: combining the stout’s classic depth with luscious cherry flavors and dessert-like richness. Intended as a creative, limited-release variant, this edition offers a fresh way to experience the power and elegance of Bourbon County in a sweeter, fruit-driven format.

• Edition: 2025 Creative/Variant Release (Cherries Jubilee)

• Barrel Aging: Bourbon barrels provide deep oak, caramel, and spirit-derived warmth

• Flavor Profile: Stout depth meets cherry jam, dark fruit sweetness, and dessert-style finishes

• Texture & Mouthfeel: Full-bodied, velvety, and smooth — great for slow sipping or dessert pairings

Tasting Notes — What to Expect

• Warm chocolate ganache

• Cherry compote and black cherry jam

• Molasses, caramel, and softened oak

• Subtle bourbon warmth with a kiss of char and vanilla

Finish:
Long, warming, and lingering — dark cherry notes meld with cocoa, oak spice, and bourbon embers. The sweetness balances bitterness, leaving a creamy, fruit-forward aftertaste.
