ABV: 14.6%

Roasty and chocolate on the nose. Boozy mouthfeel. Bourbon and chocolate on the tongue. Oak aftertaste.

Old Forester’s Birthday Bourbon is released each year on the birthday of founder George Garvin Brown. The bourbon is chosen from 11-year-old barrels and all of the bourbon is picked from one specific production day. In 2019 the bourbon was described as “rich oak spice and blackcurrant coupled with light maple, caramel cake, and white floral notes.”

Those are the barrels that housed Bourbon County Stout for a year and produce a variant with berry, maple, chocolate, and vanilla.

Celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the Black Friday release, Goose Island’s Anniversary Bourbon County Stout aged for two years in Weller 12 Year barrels. Typically aged in 4-5-year-old barrels, the older barrels, along with the extra year of aging, will provide a more robust and bourbon-forward flavor profile.

Expect notes of dried fruit, bourbon, chocolate, and vanilla in what will most likely be the strongest beer of the lineup..

NIU

Lake Zurich, Illinois
Micro Brewery

ABV: 6.5%
: 3.75/5
: 3.8/5

Roasty and chocolatey on the nose. Light mouthfeel. Very roasty and chocolatey on the tongue. Great smooth peanut butter chocolatey aftertaste.

Re-inspired by a recent trip to Hawaii, came about. The recipe has come full-circle. Over a decade of experience combining coconut and beer and brewing dark beers, we brewed Niu to be sort of a peek behind the curtain at Phase Three. Big, adjuncted, dark beers are extremely labor intensive, involve a lot of planning and unfortunately, don’t offer a lot of drinkability. Niu is 6.5%. It’s not meant to be a big pastry stout/porter, however it’s not small. The base porter is light, but uses full-flavored UK malted grains, including Maris Otter, crystal malts and chocolate malts. It’s rich, but refreshing. It satisfies a dark, adjuncted beer craving but in a way where a pint of it is appropriate.
