<\/a><\/p>\nL<\/span>ast week we brought you the first label of this year’s Goose Island’s 2018 Bourbon County Stout variants to cross the TTB — Wheatwine<\/a>. Now, in addition to the original BCS, we’re getting a look at what the rest of this year’s variants probably look like.<\/p>\n According to labels recently approved by the TTB, Goose Island has sent labels for the following additional Bourbon County Stout beers for approval:<\/p>\n A full gallery of images follows, including Wheatwine and OG. It’s seemingly a mixture of “BCBS greatest hits” — Vanilla, Bramble Rye, Reserve — and new weirdos with Horchata and Neapolitan options.<\/p>\n If the approved labels are complete, we found a number of beers with bottle flags — five — but a few may be destined for draft release only, given that only the keg images are available. That said, one of those currently-looking-like-draft-only options is Proprietors, traditionally one of the most desired bottles on the secondary market — so we’d be surprised if this is really all there is. With this year’s Prop just looking like a barrel aged version of Goose’s old Big John Stout<\/a>, we’re interested to try it either way.<\/p>\n As always, just because labels have been approved does not mean that these beers will ever see the light of day; previous BCS labels including Barleywine Reserve and Scotch-Barrel Aged variants have been held back or released under a different banner.<\/p>\n With nine different options available, the parade of 2018 Bourbon County Stout variants could be the biggest variety ever released. See you on Black Friday.<\/p>\n\n
