Tonight is the last night for the second annual Cincinnati Beer Week. Just like last year I didn’t make it to nearly as many events as I had originally hoped due to a very busy schedule. Fortunately I can try to make up for it this weekend with tickets to both nights of the Cincy Beerfest.

The one event I did make it to was a draft tapping of Goose Island’s famed Bourbon County Brand Stout, which took place this past Tuesday at The Party Source. This beer is ranked 100 on both BeerAdvocate and RateBeer, truly a world-class beer. This was my first time tasting this delicious beer and man was it good! The 15% stout is aged on bourbon barrels giving it a ton of oak and bourbon flavors, but the base stout is so creamy and full flavored that it is almost too easy to drink. I could have had another serving but there was a one glass limit per person, and the glass was free for me to take home.
