Brisk temperatures build community, and there is no better way to foster those friendships than gathering around the kitchen table for a drink. Pop off the cap of Goose Island Bourbon County Stout and be enticed by the oak-colored foam rushing to the top of the bottle. You’ll be subdued by the smoky scent of charred wood, coco, maple and vanilla. One sip will develop the notes further, adding complex layers of barley and malt. Be mindful of the flavors dancing on your pallet and savor the bottle, because this coveted porter is a limited-edition release. Luckily, at 14.7% alcohol, one bottle makes for the perfect nightcap.
