    Siren Noire is fantastic. $8 for a bomber here and worth double. Also already mentioned, New Holland Dragon's Milk is $12-14/ 4 pack and year round.

    Heavy Seas Siren Noir. Such a great beer for 7.99 a bomber.

    I certainly don't get much bourbon flavor from it but according to Unitas website it is bourbon barrel aged:

    "Sea Legs was aged in Bourbon Barrels for nearly 12 months adding toasted vanilla and bourbon notes to the flavor profile."

    I wonder if they ever change it because I remember when I first had this beer it seemed to have much more BA flavor than the bottle I opened 2 nights ago.

    Woodman' GB CW BBBW $11.50 if you bought 4 otherwise $12.99. Of course I grabbed 4 more. They had some cherry stout and at least 3+ cases of stout. Hard to tell what they had of the cherry stout and BBBW due to how the display was set up.

    Central Waters like many have said. There isn't a better and more affordable option than Central Waters bba program. Their Stout, Barleywine, and Scotch Ale are incredible for the money.

    You guys should take into consideration that I live in New York. Central Waters has only been distributed here for a year plus. I would figure we get significantly less than the Midwest, too.

    Weyerbacher Heresey Whiskey BA Stout - 11.99$ a 4 pack
    Weyerbacher Insanity BBA Barleywine11.99$ a 4 pack
    New Holland Dragons Milk - BBA Stout - 7.99 a 22oz
    Founders Backwoods BBA scotch ale - 11.99
    Founders Imp Stout with a few drips of Bourbon! - 11.99 4 pack (its awesome imo)
    Clown Shoes 22oz beers, between 8.99 and 13.99 for their BA beers (rum barrels, bourbon barrel, theyre all good.

    Best one EVER though is Devils Due from Duclaw. $2.50 a bottle, and quite good imho.

    Check your local small breweries too! I know the breweries around me are starting to do BA beers of their regular lineup. Its a nice change of pace and they usually do really well!

    In other words, it depends a LOT on where you live and what you can find locally.

    Damn, I'm surprised at all the hate for Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. Not that I've had a ton of barrel-aged beers, but it was one of the beers that got me into craft in the first place and it remains my favorite BA beer.
