    As for the poll, my write-in is Woodmaster in Bliss maple/bourbon barrels.

    Yeah I was thinking Woodmaster myself. I wouldn't mind a mild barreling of Cup Of Joe but that is not a beer for cellaring so Woodmaster wins my vote.

    Woodmaster in barrels would be great.

    I could get behind a barrel aged smores stout too.

    Personally, I kinda think a fun experiment would be a Cab/Pinot Noir Barrel Aged Soft Parade would be fun...or Brandy Barrel...but I love the dark beers with what I would assume that you are mentioning to be in Whiskey barrels. Thus, my Wood & Wild Ale fest...

    Funkin Punkin. Never tried a barrel aged pumpkin beer before.

    Very solid tap list. The only noticeable absence (at least for me) is Strawberry Shorts Cake. I'd love to get down there and try the Smores Stout and Pistachio Creme.

    The Hoppin Frog Barrel aged Pumpkin beer was taaaasty, I'm kinda liking the sound of that. Wish I could make it for this, but I will be in Asheville NC enjoying their libations! One Beer City to the next! Have fun ya'll!

    We filled up 2 bourbon barrels with this year's Woodmaster -- we'll see how it tastes next year!

    Apple brandy barrel aged Soft Parade would be delicious.

    I'm still waiting to see Mama's Milk again though.

    Mamas Strawberry Milk was mind bending good. Very sweet though.
