About this beer
This is the 57th of 67 labels we have from Goose Island Beer Co. It is one of 20 barrel-aged stout labels approved in May 2026. Its label was approved 6 days after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged, imperial on the front.
The front label is a bright blue rectangle with a rounded, multi-coloured border in blue, pink, and purple. At the top centre sits the Goose Island circular logo in grey and white, featuring a goose in profile. The composition is almost entirely type-based, with white sans-serif lettering arranged in blocky bands stating the beer name, style, brewing details, and flavour notes. A brown rectangular field near the bottom contains the bottling date and alcohol content. The back label is a simple cream rectangle with a green border and diagonal hatching fill, carrying only a small text block in the upper right corner; this secondary label is minimal and primarily utilitarian.
