Stout aged in bourbon barrels with figs, graham crackers, and natural flavor. Notes of dried fruit, honey, brown sugar, and lime zest. For years, brewers at Goose Island have brainstormed ways to incorporate figs in Bourbon County Stout, but faced a daunting task due to their subtle flavor. After fresh thinking from members of the Goose Island E-commerce team, Melissa Alleguez and Ryan Hubona crafted a recipe inspired by Melissa’s childhood memories of stealing fig cookies out of her grandma’s cookie jar during her summers on Lake Michigan. And thus, the fig cookie and graham cracker-inspired Sir Isaac’s Stout was created. Highlighting the dried fried profiles extracted from the bourbon in the barrels, our brewers used Black Mission figs (10,000 pounds of them, to be specific) to create this variant resulting in characteristics of dried fruit, honey, molasses, and citrus, all reminiscent of the classic fig cookie sold on shelves today.

Panda, courtesy of SHIG, pours with a deep mahogany colored body that supports a thin light tan head of bubbles. A swirl of the glass tosses up almost mead like legginess leaving behind a mild brown stain. The modest aroma offers up sweet smelling reduced sugars and thin brighter bourbon and booze bleeding into sherry and sugar stewed plums. Nice. The taste delivers smooth slick velvety booze soaked sugars. I get a wafer of chocolate that's neither here nor there and then rich sweet malts, a murmur of supple bourbon leading to a modest booziness and warming sensation. Another tug and sweet sugary plums are noticed as well as hints of muted woodiness. Solid sipper experience.
