    With Bolt Cutter just hitting stores here in WI, I was able to grab a bottle, I'm thinking about doing a BA Barleywine tasting. So far although the list is short, it's going to be tasty.

    King Henry
    Bolt Cutter
    Central Waters BBBW

    Was Nemesis 2010 barrel aged? I've got one bottle, which I've yet to try. Any other suggestions? Doing a general search, I don't see a lot of regular releases, unless I'm just not skilled at searching which is a good possibility. Two that I found are, Kuhnhenn Bourbon Barrel Barley Wine & Cockeyed Cooper.

    Nope.

    While not a Barleywine, New Holland Pilgrims Dole could be an interesting one to include. It would be easier to find that many -bal BW

    I would get multiple JW Lees cask variations...all delicious and they cut the base beer's sweetness quite a bit.

    Also, I'm not sure whether it qualifies as "BA" for your purposes since it's aged on new rather than previously liquor-filled oak, but Schlafly Barleywine is pretty widely available.

    BA Hi-Fi Rye is incredible if you can snag it.

    Agree with BA Naked Evil and MOAS.

    I have a brilliant local found in one store near me. Cortland 410 Flight Level BBA Barleywine. It's pretty rediculous!

    I was fairly impressed with genesis 1515 and if you can nab a bottle of sebago, that's another great one. Speaking of grat ones, alpine great is the tops.

    Kuhnhenn BBBW would definitely fit the bill, although it might be a bit tougher to trade for.

    +1 to cosmicevan's Sebago suggestion. I really liked that beer.
