    Stone has/had a BA Cherry Chocolate Stout. Probably pretty hard to find these days though.

    These 2 aren't cherry..but there is Founders Big Luscious & New Holland's Dragon's Milk both with raspberry..I found Big Luscious too sweet..the Dragon's Milk wasn't as sweet.

    Er, not barrel aged, which may disqualify it.

    Lol damn....I used to love this stuff when I first started drinking (like 20 years ago)...granted I was happy just to get a 40oz of Coors Light (as I was underage at the time).

    Havent really had it in 10 years, is it really that bad?

    I'd add the abyss to the mix. I got a lot of cherry flavor in it, along with chocolate and bourbon.

    I have a local one called dirty commie heathen by the unknown. It's made with bourbon soaked cherries. I could send one out $4$ if you're interested
