Last Friday, Brothers Colin, Tom, and Brent found themselves at Brent's new home on the Golden Valley/St. Louis Park border, along with a few other party-goers and potential beer club members. Since Tom brought along a bottle of Goose Island Bourbon County Stout, we found ourselves having a discussion as to how many Beer Club members need to be present in order for it to be an official review. Clearly it wasn't an official meeting, because it wasn't scheduled, the beer wasn't split evenly, and everybody wasn't present. However, we believe that a post should be in order since there were three of us there and we all sampled it.
As for the beer, it's an imperial stout that comes in at 13% ABV. My first impression was 'bourbon' all the way. The taste is fairly chocolatey, with vanilla, a little coffee, and some booze heat. It's a solid stout, that's for sure, but not one of my favorites. Brent and Colin both seemed to like it quite a bit, though. We may have to get another bottle for further review, because it's readily available and reasonably priced.
