Bourbon barrel stouts

Not quite bourbon barrel, but the different aged Yetis are always available and delicious

I was given a gift of New Holland Dragon's Milk. It surprised me. Pretty light in the barrel dept but was tasty and it is everywhere in both 12oz and 22oz. Not my favorite ever but for the ease of finding it in about 75% of the good stores around town anytime I feel like it, I'm sold.

 

I've been finding the only staple/regular is DM...

Yet, it seems someone is always releasing a BB Stout, so there are plenty out there in rotation (and not hard to find like BCBS, KBS, BN et...). While you may not find Blacknote or KBS - You can walk into most decent stores and find Full Sail BB right now. Last 2 months it was Central Waters BB Stout - actually saw this last week at a local store. So if you don't mind trying different things there always seems to be something on the shelf.

 

In Addendum:
Depending on where you live (e.g. close to Hudson), you can get Kentucky Ale over in Wisconsin. They have an ok BB Stout that is year round.

 

Dragon's Milk is easiest to find and is not bad. If you're near WI, CW BB Stout is still sitting all over the place and IMO is the best bang for the $. Also, Weyerbacher Heresy is out right now and fairly easy to find.
That Kentucky Ale should sit on the shelf where it belongs.

 

I must have had a bad batch of CW, I was super disappointed in that beer.

 

Yea don't buy any CW BB with 36513 on the bottle -

In my opinion I think it's dang good for a $13 4 pack...

 

BA Old Rasputin is around if you look for it. I know there is a Clown Shoes BA stout that is still rather abundant. Wyndmer has several BA offerings that are readily available. I know there are others clogging up the overstocked craft shelves around town.

 

Haskell's Minnetonka announced it got in a whole hoard of BA brews yesterday. I second the Clown Shoes options and even though it's not a stout, don't forget about Three Lick Spiker!

 

Clown Shoes is one of the breweries that I will always buy their stouts from.

I think the only dark beer of theirs I didn't like was the pecan porter, tried it twice, didn't care much for it either time. But Luchador en Fuego is amazing.

 

Shouldn't have any trouble finding the regular Ten Fidy. I've seen it in most stores.

 

Yea by no means impossible... but not as abundant as some of the other OBs from what I've seen....

 

There might be a BA one that is. The regular is unbarrelled

 

There are a lot of people that know A LOT more then I do, so please correct me if I'm wrong - but the standard canned 10-50 isn't barrel aged at all. They may have released a BA variants at some point in time. Rum King from Indeed is aged in Jamaica (never found out which one, so can't conclude Appleton) rum barrels...

 

Epic Big Bad Baptist is pretty widely available and delicious. I've seen it around most stores lately.
