Since it’s Christmas we thought what better beer to review than a gingerbread stout! We were pleasantly surprised. I was shocked Mike liked it as much as he did!
Style: Milk Stout
Container: Bomber
Glassware: Nerdsense Snifters
Notes: Hardywood Gingerbread Stout offers aromatics of holiday spice originating from the ginger, and balanced with a generous dose of whole Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans and Vietnamese cinnamon. Milk sugar (lactose) contributes to the full body of this stout and tames its roasty character, while oats lend a silky quality. (9.2%)
Rating: 4.25/5

We’ve got Reid back with us this week to review another one of the beers I brought back from my Chicago trip a few weeks back.
Style: Barrel Aged Milk Stout
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Flutes
Notes: (From Website) The sweetness of the base beer lends balance to the otherwise prominent barrel character, mellowing the harsh. A marriage of all things dark, sweet and woody. (9.7%)
Rating: 4.75/5
We got ourselves a bottle of the 13.8% version of the 2015 Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout.
Style: Stout
Container: 16.9oz Bottle
Glassware: 5oz snifter tasters
Notes:A liquid as dark and dense as a black hole with thick foam the color of a bourbon barrel. The nose is an intense mix of charred oak, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and smoke.
