Who's favorite style is Barrel-Aged beers?

Let me start off by saying I LOVE good beer.  However, not all beer is good.  While IPAs are my least favorite style, I still like them.  I have been digging barrel aged (BA) beers for a while now.  The first one to grab me was 'Dragon's Milk' by New Holland.  A must have if you like this style.  It's not for everyone.  Some people don't like a hint of bourbon in their beer.  Me?  Best of both worlds!  Moreover, BA offerings tend to be darker beers, which happen to be my favorite.  So its a win, win, win for me.

Anyone have a favorite BA offering they would like to shout out?

 

ps. Love the PBR Coffee logo.  Super good!

There are a lot of different varieties of BA beers. I am not sure if you have had Darkness(Russian Imperial Stout from Surly Brewing) but it is actually aged in oak barrels that haven't been used for spirits. Same with Dogfish Head's Palo Santo Marron(Brown Ale aged in huge Palo Santo wood vessels). Or Cigar City made a couple of their flagship beers that have been aged in Amburana good(Hunaphu has previous versions in this wood). Those are some really cool barrel aged darker beers that are not in the traditional mold of a spirit barrel aged stout.

But, yeah, who doesn't love a big stout in some spirit barrels? RIS, pastry, whatever....poo is good.

YES! I know which one you are talking about, but I can't think of the name of it either.  It's like coffee, french toast (with syrup) and stout beer with a hint of bourbon in a can.  Who needs an actual breakfast with that kind of offering?

RIS = Russian Imperial Stout. Pastry stouts are a more recent style of heavy adjunct beers(coffee, vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup, you name it). 

There are actually quite a few beers that might meet your description these days(very popular set of adjuncts in the stout and BA stout world). I am thinking maybe Founders CBS, perhaps? That wouldn't be in a can though. 

Maple BA stouts are all the rage. I approve. My blood sugar probably doesn't.

    • I think its a predictable and fitting response. 
    • Interesting for sure, I think I remember him saying if he could go back he’d tear every ligament in his knee to jump on that ball. I get where he is coming from on this, most people, especially social media, won’t take this well. 
    • I think, at 8, there will be a player someone covets.  These top teams have few needs, so they might package a first and second and maybe a future pick to move up to take a player they covet.  Gonna think out loud here for a second-- Offensive tackle--I went to a site (randomly) that lists team needs in prioritized order. ELEVEN teams list OT as a priority.  (Ravens, Browns, Bears, Jets, Niners, Seahawks, Bucs, Chiefs, Packers, Commanders, Patriots, Rams).  IMO there are 2 elite OT prospects and probably 4 to 5 with first round grades. I see Sanders and Ward (QB), Hunter (CB), Carter (Edge) and Johnson (CB) going in the top 7--Graham or TMac are probably likely to go next.  The Jets pick 7 and will not be picking a QB.  They will probably take OT Will Campbell.  At that time, there is one elite OT left and ELEVEN teams that need an OT.  Granted, some will address this need in free agency, but how many starting OTs are available?  Now, consider you are the Chiefs, Seahawks, Packers, Bucs, or Ravens.  They have little to no cap space, so grabbing a stud OT in free agency is unlikely and there are not any.  You also realize that 10 or so picking before you need an OT.  Once the Jets take an OT---the Panther phones will be ringing--teams will target Kelvin Banks, OT Texas.  If they wait, they could hope that Josh Simmons (Ohio State) falls to them, but they are unlikely to wait for the unlikely.  So the Panthers will have to ask themselves, "Would I take the Commanders' first and second and the 2026 second rounder for our first rounder?"  We do not have a second rounder in 2026.  We'd pick 29th and 61st in 2025.  That would give the Panthers 3 picks in the first 61 picks.  So who might be there? Let's say that Graham (DE Michigan) is available at #8.  Most say "No brainer."  But the Phone rings offering you two second rounders to move back 21 spots in round 1.  You have a lot of needs.  What could you get? Estimates, based on Player Rankings: 27. Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon 57. (from Rams--not part of trade)  Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College 61. Maxwell Hairston, CB Kentucky (assuming Mike Jackson leaves--Hairston has been eye opening at the SR Bowl practices) So basically, to give up on Graham, you get a good CB and a good DT and a future second rounder in a draft in which you had no second round.
