Stout aged in bourbon barrels with cocoa nibs, toasted almonds, anise seed, and natural flavor. Notes of marzipan, cocoa, buttered toffee, and black licorice. At Goose Island, we believe ideas and inspiration can come from anyone in the Goose family, and our Biscotti Stout is a perfect example that came from our very own HR team. Inspired by the Italian desserts of her childhood, Jill Cerone, People Manager at Goose Island, dreamed up this variant after grabbing a box of chocolate-dipped biscotti from her cabinet. Working with the brewing team, Jill brought the flavor to life with notes of anise, marzipan, cocoa, and buttered toffee. The biscotti enhances flavors already found in our Bourbon County Stout and adds strong notes of nostalgia from your Italian grandma’s kitchen. One sip and you’ll be reminded of pizzelle cookies, Easter Pane di Pasqua and, of course, almond biscotti.

Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a nice dark mahogany colored body that supports really no head at all. The aroma offers up marzipan seeping into chocolate, a sense of booze enhanced nuttiness and some spicy notes off in the periphery. The taste delivers slick sweet richness boiling with sugary malts, chocolate, a marzipan like character and then sliding into a modest toffee candy sweetness. Another sip and I can make out the nuttiness kind of hovering over the flavor as a thin cloud. Midway and into the finish the booziness grows and grows and warms the gullet. Nice balanced sipper.
