Goose Island Matilda 2010

From Goose Island – Brewmaster Greg Hall developed Matilda for seasoned craft beer and wine drinkers to enjoy at the dining table or for casual socializing at the bar. Like others in the Goose Island lineup, such as Bourbon County Stout and Pere Jacques, the flavor of Matilda evolves as it ages and continues to develop over time.
