I just heard that these failed lab testing and are being sent back to the States. The vanilla levels exceed Ontario liquor limits by .005 ppmsprague11 wrote:I will be pleasantly surprised if these actually go on sale that Friday AM.
Lol. I doubt the government could tell AB Inbev anything except "yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir". But everyone feel free to listen to BakaGaijin, don't show up on Black Friday, the Vanilla Rye won't be there...BakaGaijin wrote:I just heard that these failed lab testing and are being sent back to the States.

Care to elaborate on your well thought out post that clearly contributes meaningfully to this discussion?
Are you implying that the bottle count is low? Or the price is too high? I mean you can always just walk in to any bottle shop and pick one up off the shelf if that suits you better I suppose.

Does anybody know the format? Are they sold in bombers or 4-packs?
You are correct, bourbon county brand stout in general is a very sweet imperial stout wit the focus placed heavily on bourbon, vanilla, and chocolate flavors. The Vanilla Rye variant is going to be very heavy on sweet vanilla flavour with a bit of spice from the rye barrels according to what I've read. If you're not a fan of sweet stouts then you might find yourself disappointed.AugustusRex wrote:According to Goose Island's website, the Vanilla Rye has 35 IBU and uses only Columbus, which is a concentrated hop. Doesn't sound like a lot of hop. Are they going for something really sweet? Doesn't sound like a flavour profile I would usually go for, but I will make an exception.
I'm certainly no tasting expert, but I drank a pretty good amount of this a few months ago at some GI events in DC and it is a big vanilla bomb, in the best way possible!! Definitely very sweet. It hit the mark for me, for sure.ChrisK wrote:You are correct, bourbon county brand stout in general is a very sweet imperial stout wit the focus placed heavily on bourbon, vanilla, and chocolate flavors.
