Shamrock Stout

A hint of mint, a touch of cocoa, a lot of luck

For the lucky few, Shamrock Stout has been a beer for those fortunate enough to find it on draft at the Goose Island Fulton Street Taproom every March. Now, for the first time, we’re excited to release this annual favorite in bottles. Everyone can enjoy a taste of our annual tradition at home. Since green beer has never really been our thing, the release of this imperial stout is how we like to say: “sláinte.”

Goose Island Shamrock Stout is a decadent delight that is aged for a full year in freshly emptied bourbon barrels and finished with peppermint, cocoa nibs and vanilla. The aging process imparts rich, warming notes of oak and whiskey, while the addition of cocoa nibs and vanilla adds layers of sweetness and complexity. Goose Island Shamrock Stout is a perfect way to raise a toast this year without having to dye the river green.
