GuidePost: Bourbon McElroy, an imperial stout brewed by Bryan Shimkos of Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery, was named 2010 Champion Real Ale of Chicagoland. The beer was honored through ballots cast by folks at the Chicago Beer Society's Day/Night of the Living Ales celebration at Goose Island's Wrigleyville brewpub last week, reports the Chicago Beer Examiner.
Bourbon McElroy is a bourbon-barrel aged version of Flossmoor Station's Dark Matter Imperial Stout. The barrel-aged version is estimated at 10.5% alcohol by volume. It's been described as combining notes of bourbon, oak, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, and other flavors.
