[...] I think this is one of the better barrel aged beers that I’ve had. I’m still a fan of Goose Island’s offering, but I would certainly not turn this down as a viable alternative. If you like a bourbon beer, [...]

[...] over-bearing while the Bourbon was under-bearing. I personally don’t think it holds a candle to Goose Island’s Bourbon County, but I would certainly drink this beer again. I’m also sorry that I wasn’t able to make it to [...]

I’ve never seen this in my neck of the woods. Actually, the bottle I have was sent to me as a sample, but as I only have one… I’d love to have another! One for now, one for later (like 2012!)

Scott,

Yeah! I looove it! Let’s make this easy. I’m guessing that you’re not able to get a hold of it very easily. I think we can work out a deal here. How about if I buy a bottle next time I’m up where I normally buy this beer and send it to you. In exchange you can send me something good some time. I think this is a win win situation in more than one way.

So let me get this straight. You like this beer?

I have one bottle of this, like yours its the 2008 version. I’m reeeeeely tempted to open it ant try it because I hear nothing but good things about it. I’ve also heard as you mentioned, this beer gets better with some age. The bottle even says it can cellar for 5 years. What to do?

So, for the moment, I’m going to hang on to it for the future, but each review I read like yours makes that harder and harder to do!
