    This. They have rum aged. Bourbon aged. Pretty sure but they definitely have barrel aged varieties.

    Heavy Seas just release a bourbon barrel-aged tripel called Phantom Ship, that I picked up yesterday. Looking forward to trying it this weekend.

    Heavy Seas also has a saison aged in Chardonay barrels called Red Sky at Morning that should be released this summer. Looking forward to that one too.

    As for others, search out:

    Lickinghole Creek's bourbon barrel-aged Three Chopt Tripel;

    Weyerbacher's bourbon barrel-aged Barleywine Insanity;

    Avery's Rumpkin, a rum barrel-aged pumpkin ale;

    Two of Avery's Demons of Ale series: Samael's, a oak-aged English-style strong ale, and The Beast Grand Cru to start!

    Good luck and cheers!

    If you like that particular Tennent's beer, seek out Innis & Gunn. Same stuff pretty much.

    I'm seconding Curieux, Crooked Stave, and Rumpkin; and adding Pump[KY]n to the list... And also, as said, barley wines are great for barrel aging, though some run dark brown. I'll also throw in Odyssey, a dark Belgian ale from Allagash

    Another vote for BCBW. That was a game changer for me regarding barrel aged barleywines.

    exactly what I was going to suggest.



    Really though like others have stated, Curieux is the first thing that came to mind. Cisco's Lady of the Woods is great too. I know Innis & Gunn does a lot of barrel/wood aged stuff, I just haven't actually tried any of it I don't think so I can't speak to it.
