Goose Island Bourbon County Stout is a grand, grand thing. Thick and sweet with flavors of bourbon, oak, vanilla, roast, chocolate and alcohol. A massive 13% abv. It’s a force to be reckoned with. I chose it to pair with my stir fry because syrupy stouts can sometimes take on a hint of soy sauce character. Sometimes that’s a horrendous flaw. But if it’s extremely subtle, it can be part of the overall charm.
This was the perfect pairing.
The stir fry veggies came in a large frozen package from Costco. I poured some into a bowl while I thawed some frozen chicken. Fried it all up and added some hoisin sauce. Served on a bed of brown rice.
Awesome stuff.
