    There are so many world class bourbon barrel aged stouts, barleywine, etc but I'd like to find out everyone's favorite BA non bourbon or oak only aged beer.

    One that I think has really gone under the radar is Avery Rumpkin. I think most people aren't interested as it's classified as a pumpkin beer however IMO it's awesome. Rum barrel goodness at 18.1%. Very smooth for that high octane.

    It's not bourbon so I'd say so!

    Avery has an amazing barrel program that goes under the radar, and I like it that way. I like the yeti variants as far as aged on oak goes,but I think sofie paradisi whas been my favorite so far.

    I had a wine barrel-aged quad at a fest a while ago. I think it was from Wild Wolf Brewery.

    No love for Burton Baton? That's my vote. Plenty of good options, though.
