Brandy Barrel aged BEERS

Gargoyle love song from Clown shoes is a stout aged in Cognac Barrels and the best Brandy barrel beer I have had was a 2012 Imperial eclipse stout from 50/50. Best Apple brandy beer I had was Trickery from Hardywood.

 

Tough to find, but I really enjoyed Oxbow's Infinite Darkness - http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/26439/126736/ ... I am, however, a sucker for anything in apple brandy barrels. Night Shift just released http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/28609/174106/ too, which while it isn't real well regarded here, is probably easy to trade for.

 

Damn, how come I haven't heard of that Bravery beer?? Sounds awesome.

Did it get distro or brewery only?

 

Brandy barrels are hit or miss for me.

Brandy 4 Elf was AMAZINGLY good, however.

 

Came to post this.

 

Bill's next to Dodger Stadium has a decent supply left of Brandy Barrel Shroud. $16.99/bottle, not so bad.
Stellar beer, for sure!

 

I've only had three that I remember, but each has been terrific.

No, but I had this one: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/23031/122096/ and it was fantastic. Not sure of bottle availability since I had it on-tap but, if you ever see it, I highly recommend it.

 

Agree with others who've said Billionaire and AB Noir.

Another I'd add, but have not had but a sip yet is JK's Coquetier http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/24018/169448/
Have a bottle I'm waiting to open.

 

Couldn't think of 'em offhand, but after checking my rated beers, Brandy Barrel Ten Fidy was incredibly delicious. Also, it was aged on more than just Apple Brandy barrels, but Funky Buddha's Triple Tripel was great as well.

 

I've wanted to try pretty much all of the brandy barrel aged beers everyone's mentioned so far & slowly getting closer to tracking down a few of them..and now have a couple more to look for TY..

Best one I have had so far was the Apple Brandy Barrel Two To The Dome from 3 Stars Brewery in DC. Their Two To The Dome Double IPA is great on its own but after being aged in the apple brandy barrels it became amazing. Still to this day every time I have a glass of Dome my mouth starts watering thinking of that apple brandy dome

 

Not sure how many are still around but Cognac barrel Church on a Hill (Cigar City) was ridiculous.

 

I live like 4 miles from Bravery and I've had Brandy Barrel Aged Gunny's Choice on tap. It's a Belgian Quad. Not sure if they bottle it but it was damn good.

 

It isn't on Cellar Reserve 2011's level, but Cognac Barrel Scotch Silly was pretty tasty.

I'll also put in a good word for the Bravery Shroud in brandy barrels. Just had a bottle earlier this week, and it was delicious. It did have some limited distribution in the region, not brewery only, so there may still be some hanging out on a shelf somewhere.

Billionaire is still my favorite that I've had so far, though.
