    Arcadia will be releasing a barrel aged (for 22 months) supply of Cereal Killer Barleywine Ale. It's the first release of barrel aged Cereal Killer since its Gold Medal win at the 2009 GABF.
    • Barrel Aged Cereal Killer (10% ABV): A 22 month aged barleywine, brewed in English-style tradition, full-bodied with robust malty flavors like caramel, toffee, molasses and dark fruit notes, subtle citrus finish from the hops. Cellar-aging evolves the flavor into a sherry-like aroma, available in 12 oz. bottles. IBUs: 60
    Arcadia is also releasing a barrel aged (for 22 mo) Imperial Stout for the first time ever.
    • Barrel Aged Imperial Stout (9.5% ABV): A 22 month aged Imperial Stout with a rich mouth feel, aroma consists of dark roasted malts and blackstrap molasses with a hint of smoke, flavor notes of coffee, bittersweet cocoa, black licorice and hints of prune. A generous addition of hops provides complexity and an astringent finish. Available in 12 oz. bottles. IBUs: 82
    Projected time frame for these releases is between November and December. Both will be in very short supply.

    Ive seen the imperial around and I haven pulled the trigger on the 15 dollar 4 pack yet. I was waiting for breakfast stout. I have to seek some of this out though.

    Seemed like there was a ton of Shipwreck, no? Why such a small amount of these? Shipwreck is one of my top 5 fav beers ever. Stoked beyond belief for Cereal Killer is in that list as well.

    Looks like somebody photoshopped the BBA Shipwreck label and forgot that part.

    I'm surprised on how high the IBU's are on something that's been aged for 22 months.

    I'm pretty sure that the place that's a 5 minute walk from my house still has the Shipwreck. I had no problems finding it. I'm hoping it's the same here.

    I'm not a big Barleywine fan, but I do remember accidentally picking up a CK and it being pretty decent, so I'll probably pick up a bottle of this if I can find it. I'm far more excited about the Imperial Stout being barrel aged.
