Goose Island Big John

We are tasting the super rare Big John tonight - plus we will have a few bottles for sale.






Goose Island Big John...$8.99/ 22 oz
Imperial Stout with Cacao Nibs Added

Brewmasters Notes:

Inspired by the epic skyline of Chicago, Goose Island’s brewers set out to craft Big John; a tall, bold slugger of a stout that stands out vividly against the little soft beers out there. Epic amounts of roasted malt and an addition of cacao nibs give Big John a massive chocolate flavor and aroma. With a body as substantial and black as the building to which it pays homage, Big John is sure to inspire a sense of awe with every sip.
