Goose Island Bourbon County Vanilla Rye 2014. Chicago, IL 13% ABV.

Served chilled from a 22 oz bomber and poured into tulip glasses. Pours a dark brown to black color with a one finger frothy tan foam head. Smells are heavily of bourbon and vanilla. It is extremely sweet, and smells like it will be a delicious dessert. Carbonation is light with a very, very, very fully body. Taste is unlike anything I've had before. The first taste is sweet and warming, with the bourbon and malt notes coming through towards the middle. The finish is of vanilla, molasses, chocolate, bourbon and so much more. I savored every  last sip of this magical creation.

As you can tell, I found this variant of Bourbon County to be life changing. I hope next year they make a larger selection, or at least release a 1 year aged version of it like they did the Backyard Rye this year. I can honestly say this was one of the best beers I have ever tried, and am going to do my best to find another bottle of it. To give this beer a 100/100 is almost not enough.

100/100
