Holiday weekend calls for dessert! Even if it’s with dinner rather than after. These #gooseIsland selections never make it a year on my shelf 😁

Bourbon County Cherries Jubilee Cask Finish #stout

Rich full bodied, cherries and bourbon, oak and cognac tang, deep dark fruit notes and a hint of citrus. Let it warm!

Sticking with the big bourbon, dark fruit barrel-y theme, next up!

They stick it in a seven-year-old bourbon barrel and leave it there for a year. Then, they stick it in another bourbon barrel and let it sit in that one for another year.

The Toasted Stout was one of the more expensive beers I've had at $65 per bottle. At that price, I expected it to be as good as the regular stout, but it was not.

When I saw it in the store, it seemed inevitable that I was going to pick it up, even if I had already done this year.

I'm not sure that that extra 10th of a percentage of ABV is really going to make that big of a difference.

Had an MRI today (diagnostic) - been a while since I’ve experienced that odd soundscape body vibration machine.

The bourbon hot opener is staring to mellow, rich with dark fruits and molasses, let it warm to bring out the flavor.

This is one of those scenarios where I know that this is owned by Anheuser-Busch, but I still have the impression of this being a relatively small brewery.

#GooseIsland #Beer Company has a line of IPAs under its “Beer Hug” label, featuring largely higher-alcohol beers across a variety of IPA subcategories. The latest in the lineup is Big Hazy Pineapple Beer Hug, an imperial hazy IPA that clocks in at 9.9% ABV. The company recently sent me a can of the new beer to review, in 19.2-ounce stovepipe format.
