Goose Island has once again collaborated with Beer Historian Ron Pattinson and legendary London Brewer Derek Prentice for Black Eagle: No. 1 English Barley Wine. Black Eagle is a recreation of recipes from 1666-1989. Made at Goose Island’s brewery in Chicago from a blend of two batches brewed 9 months apart. The first being a 9 month barrel aged beer and the last third a fresh batch. This gives the beer the same aged beer character in aroma and flavor, while keeping some aspects of an unaged beer.
