Barrel Aged Brown Ales

Pappy Van Winkle Board Meeting from Lost Abbey.

 

It's under the Port Brewing label, not Lost Abbey. It wasn't worth $30 a bottle either.

 

Palo santo marron is a fine brew but I think the wooden vessels are like 10,000 gallons so I don't think it's quite a barrel aged beer the same way as the ones aged in actual spirits barrels.

 

Also I don't know enough about this type but is FW's double dba a type of brown? It's listed as an esb but I'm not sure how closely related they are.

 

Georgetown trading company does a BA brown for James E. Pepper distillery called 1776. Here's a link http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/37457/144036/
If you want we could work out a trade for a bottle or two. PM me if you want. Cheers!!

 

Just saw this the other day and passed on it. Didn't realize it was BA'd. Now I need one.

 

@deadonhisfeet sent me a Quaff Bros Brown Chicken Brown Cow and I loved it!

 

Five come immediately to mind:

1. Clown Shoes/Brash Flight of the Pimp - Now retired, but an amazing barrel aged Imperial Brown. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22951/81977/

2. Brash Biggie Smalls - Brash went it alone for this Imperial Brown that was a blend of rum and bourbon barrel aged beer. It was a one-off, but I still occasionally see it on shelves in ATL. I agree with you, OP--very nice. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/29426/101761/

3. Widmer Bros Kill Devil Brown - The original run, 2012 in a cardboard box was amazing when I cracked one open a few months ago. The '13, not so much. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/8/80794/

4. Red Hare Bourbon Barrel Aged Watership Brown - Opinions vary regarding Red Hare, but I thought this was a nice drinker. On tap only in ATL. (Don't see it listed--I need to add this one.)

5. Finally, I took a trip to Upslope while in Denver this past November, and I was privileged to try a barrel aged brown they had in house. Amazing! Like everything else I tried there. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/18564/130153/

 

Unfortunately, it was draft only at rev brew, but this beer was pretty interesting:

It was very barleywine-esque

I think Jobu's still on shelves around here, that's rated pretty well
