Goose Island Bramble Rye Bourbon County Stout

Another great example from the Goose Island BCS series! My thanks goes out to Soj for sharing this at the beer tasting.

Pour is dark red/brown with very little carbonation and an almost none existent head. Aroma is heavy on the blackberries with some boozy tones in the background. Flavor is almost cloyingly sweet, but the alcohol balances it out well, you want to sip this beer. Finish is like warm rye bread and balances out the sweet body. Interesting and better than I expected it to be.

Appearance - 4.0
Smell - 4.2
Taste - 4.1
Texture - 4.1
Overall - 4.10/5
