Bourbon Barrel Ruination

I drank one, it was good not great
Nose was sort of a white wine/pear and a bit of whiskey..looks a clear bright copper with a small white head..taste is interesting, not very strong, starts with sweet malt and a hint of whiskey/oak, hops are faded and show up mostly at the end in the form of sharp bile-ish bitterness.

It was "interesting" It is nothing like regular ruination, but I can see where they were going with it trying to play off of regular ruinations strong malt backbone.. but in the end a bitter BA barleywine is not for me, I give it a 4

 

I'm with you. Waiting for a TV commercial that shows Miller Lite is now BA .

 

I think it's weird that so many people hate on BB IPAs. I get why there is controversy among many attempts, but keep in mind that not all IPAs are 'base malt and hops.' Some actually have complexity besides hops and, dare I say, benefit from the BB. What a crazy concept! It's almost as if these world-class breweries know what they're doing!!!

 

One of the best BA Beers I've had was a OB Gordon on Stranahan barrels. Deliciously smooth - not really an IIPA anymore, but very tasty. Despite the mediocre reviews, I'd be interested to try this.

But, alas, I live in Alabama, and we get no Stone.

 

Will someone list this beer, please?

 

I still think it's better to sip the Bourbon with an IIPA back, but that's just me

 

Yes my wife brought one home for me, as well as a dayman colab. IPA that I was a little sketchy about, turns out the "coffee" ipa was really good, I have not tried the ruination yet, maybe I will crack it tonight and let you guys know how it goes! It is either gonna be really good , or an absolute failure.

 

Stop putting IPAs in fucking bourbon barrels.
