    I never thought about this before, but I wish there was a category for "BA stout". When looking at barrel-aged stouts from countries around the world, I was wondering how they compare. KBBS is the clear winner for the United States, but it isn't as easy to figure out for other countries. For Canada, I am thinking it's Singularity from Driftwood (https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/18858/65392/), but perhaps I am wrong? Belgium? Netherlands? Germany? England? Other countries? Would be cool to put together a list.

    You pose a good question, but it is a bit vague too. When you are looking to compare, it's not a fair comparison to look at beers that come from bourbon barrels vs. beers from barrels that never contained spirits. I'll predict that anything from Cantillon or many other Belgian breweries will shoot to the top of the popularity list.

    Good point. I am sure the barrel treatment will be a big factor. I guess I am more curious how many countries are barrel aging stouts (therefore not Cantillon) and which are the best.

    Oops, I missed on the 'stout' part of your post. Point taken.
