Counter modes are evil and thus not used.
Evil? Howso? I know there's a malleability problem, but GnuPG has used

would like to use.
This isn't really a GnuPG use case. If you're looking for an AES256
encryption or
Is AES256 using ecb or cbc mode?
Depends on which version of GnuPG you're using. Older versions used an
idiosyncratic cipher feedback mode, newer versions use counter mode (I
believe).
