About this beer

Goose Island Beer Co. presents Dapper Barley Wine Ale, a vintage 2025 release boasting an impressive 12.1 fl oz (355ml) bottle. This barrel-aged strong ale clocks in at a substantial ABV, though the specific percentage is not indicated on the label. The beer itself is aged for two years in bourbon barrels, imparting notes of rich vanilla, oak, and a warming spice that complements the underlying malt sweetness. Crafted in Chicago, Illinois since 1988, it’s a limited-release offering, clearly marked as a barrelhouse release.

The label itself embodies an Art Deco aesthetic, dominated by a deep purple background and geometric designs in gold, red, and cream. A stylized goose within a shield tops the design, and layered text highlights the beer's aged character and production details. The overall look evokes a sense of luxury and heritage, suggesting a complex and refined drinking experience originating from a storied brewery.
