Bourbon Barrel Ruination

Sounds like a waste of good DIPA and bourbon barrels.

 

No more needs to be said on this topic.

 

Is bourbon barrel aging getting out of control?

 

I'll taste then decide. It's stone though. Rouge I would of expected this from first.

 

That doesn't even sound good, at all really.....

Swing and a miss for Stone?

 

I'm certainly for more barrel aged DIPAs.

 

On the plus side, when this gets infected it won't taste much worse.

 

Ha

 

I bet it's damn good. BBA is going wild.. But I like many of them.

 

Looks like this comment about Doom.

I wish they would rebrew the 10th Anniversary Ruiniation, instead of sticking the normal one in Bourbon barrels. That 10th Anny beer was amazing, and a highlight from 2012.

If I am offered a taste of Doom I will gladly try, but won't be spending money on that either.

 

Yeah I was a little puzzled when I saw the news for this . . . there are some DIPAs that might jive with spirit barrel aging (assuming it's dry-hopped to hell), but I'd imagine that they would be primarily big, malty bastards.

Ruination is not a big, malty bastard. Not in my opinion.

But, y'know. Like ethnic food and sex positions, I'm not going to rule anything out. Immediately, anyway.

 

There was a nice BA IPA from Island Brewing I tried a while back. But in that case, it was an average IPA getting BA'ed into a psuedo barleywine... Haha, anyway, it might be good.

 

More DIPAs need to be placed in tequila barrels, not bourbon.

 

This doesn't sound good. Hope it tastes better than it sounds

 

Why does everyone on here bash beers that they haven't even tried yet, especially anything barrel aged that isn't a stout, barleywine, or sour? Just because something doesn't fit the archetype of what that style is (in this case a DIPA) doesn't automatically mean it's bad! Sure the flavor profile may be different from "standard" DIPAs, but that does not make it inherently bad! Hell as BAs I thought we were supposed to embrace experimentation and innovation! I personally will reserve judgement until I try it, if I ever get the chance. I think a lot of people on here would do well to do the same, not just for this particular beer, but for many others!

 

I like this idea! Productive thinking rather than just bashing!

 

I'd be down to try it.

 

Although I'm interested in trying this beer, I agree. More beers like Zapata Bot please!
