Bourbon County Stout

I had a 2008 Goose Island Bourbon County Stout at City Beer recently. Wow.

I loved it. I won’t come up with suitable adjectives (volatile?)– it’s more like drinking whiskey than any other beer I’ve had. And at 13% alcohol and a powerful smoky-sweet taste, I could have easily split the single 12oz bottle with one or two other people.
