    Woot Stout takes the cake for $11 per 22oz bomber.
    The Abyss from Deschutes is great but retails for $17, try them side by side. I'll leave the rest up to you.

    High Westified at $9/bomber has to take the cake. Even found it for $6 the other day.

    Isn't Woot stout only partially BBA? I still think Smog City sells their BBA beers are an insane low price.

    New Holland Dragon's Milk is $6.49 for 22 oz or $15.99 for 4-12 oz. Being able to get in the 12 oz format is a nice plus.

    Big Bad Baptist rocks. So damn cheap and I get my whisky barrel craving fulfilled. Parabola, however, is my favorite, even though it's 5 dollars more.

    It looks like I need to try woot stout again. I had it once but don't remember liking it at all.

    Limited, but Infinite Wishes was a really great value and was amazing.

    BCBS is no doubt the best deal out there, assuming there isn't a big markup.

    But have you tried High West-ified?

    $6-9 for a killer 12% BA coffee stout...you can't beat that.

    I dig it is a big coffee bear, but I don't remember much barrel character... I'll have to grab another bottle soon.

    It's definitely subtle...a little too subdued for me. Still a good beer but would definitely benefit from more barrel character IMO...

    So they were $13-14 plus tax? Not that absurd.

    Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Barleywine for $13-14 for a four pack.

    A world class BA Barleywine that ages amazingly. The rest of the CW BA lineup is no slouch, either, though it has sadly crept up in price from the insane lows of $9.99/$10.99 a few years back.

    Its already been mentioned by the High Westfield was for the sure the best bang for your buck. It was selling on average of $8 around me when it first released. Unfortunately the only place near me that still has some bottles left jacked up the prices significantly.
