    I know BCBS is known for this but what are some others to try? Looking for 'hot' beers.

    I think the biggest bourbon blast I've encountered was Heavy Seas Below Decks. They also have a red wine version that I haven't tried. I've had victory red thunder though also BCBS, Cherry Rye, Coffee, Black Ops, and a number of others. Full Sail last week was my latest. Schalafly boubon was great too. I think the heat comes off more in a barelywine then a stout. Happy Tippling and Prost!

    A lot of the Hardywood specialty/limited stuff very strongly resembles a bourbon barrel.

    BA Blackout Stout would be up your alley.. it's pretty hot/boozy/bourbon forward when fresh..

    I'd go with the BA Dogfather from Laughing Dog.

    Not my favorite beer but it was very very boozy

    Alewerks Bourbon Barrel Porter. I laid down my others just to round off that edge.

    Black Tuesday hands down...not even close to others. It in fact just might be a bourbon....

    Insanity and BA Human Blockhead, if you'd rather something that's not a BA stout

    Central Waters. The bourbon barrel barleywine and stout are both very bourbon-forward.

    Anything bourbon aged on cask tends to be hot. The lack of carbonation means that the barrel is really front and center. Had this experience twice last week with BA Old Numbskull and BA Decadence 11. The draft version of each is much more drinkable.

    Guys, stop. I can get a lot of these without trying too hard. I love bourbon. Boozy beers are a-ok in my book. But please, my wallet hurts.
