Goose Island Beer Co - Bourbon County Brand Chocolate Praline Stout (2025)

A luxurious celebration of chocolate, nuts and bourbon barrel-aged decadence, Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Chocolate Praline Stout takes the brewery's legendary Imperial Stout in an irresistibly indulgent direction. Inspired by the rich, confectionery flavours of chocolate pralines, this special Bourbon County release combines the deep roasted character of its iconic stout with layers of chocolate, nutty sweetness and warming bourbon. Expect a sumptuous combination of cocoa, toasted nuts, smooth vanilla and caramel, with the influence of bourbon barrels adding complexity and depth. It's a beautifully extravagant interpretation of the classic Bourbon County formula, bringing together the sophistication of barrel-aged brewing and the comforting pleasures of artisan chocolate.

Rich, velvety and unapologetically decadent, Chocolate Praline Stout offers a dessert-inspired drinking experience designed to be savoured slowly. Deep chocolate and roasted malt provide a luxurious foundation, while praline-like nutty flavours and caramelised sweetness evoke the richness of a fine chocolate truffle. Warming bourbon, toasted oak and delicate vanilla complement the confectionery character, creating a complex interplay of sweet, roasted and barrel-derived flavours. As the beer warms in the glass, expect its chocolate and nutty characteristics to become increasingly expressive, with a long, indulgent finish that makes it a natural choice for an after-dinner treat. An exceptional addition to the Bourbon County family and a must-try for lovers of heavyweight, dessert-inspired Imperial Stouts.
