About this beer

Goose Island’s Bourbon County Variant: Cherries Jubilee is an imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels and finished in Cognac barrels, weighing in at 5.2% ABV. This variant builds upon the base Bourbon County stout with the addition of Montmorency cherries, orange zest, panela (unrefined cane sugar), and natural flavors. The resulting flavor profile is expectedly rich and complex, with prominent notes of dark fruit, particularly cherry, balanced by boozy warmth, subtle citrus brightness, and a deep malt backbone. The base beer also contains wheat.

The label features a minimalist design with a maroon and cream color scheme, prominently displaying "Bourbon County Variant" and "Cherries Jubilee" in elegant lettering. A small depiction of a goose within a barrel is included, along with the year, 2025, suggesting a limited-release vintage. The label clearly indicates the beer is brewed, bottled, and barrel-aged by Goose Island Beer Co. in Chicago, Illinois.
