Worst Barrel Aged Beer?

Kentucky Bourbon Ale is beyond vile. Normally I power through a bad four- or six-pack but 2 sips and I was clutching my mouth running for the bathroom. Imagine Banker's Club whiskey poured into a Milwaukee's Best Ice.

If not for that I'd have to say Brewdog Paradox Smokehead. Evidently I don't like Scotch but this stuff tasted like Marlboro Reds soaked in fart-flavored rubbing alcohol. I think it's one of maybe three beers I have ever dumped out of a two-ounce tasting glass at a beer fest.

 

A tie between Widmer Brrrrboun and Heavy Seas Greater Pumpkin. Is there even a base beer they start with?

 

Dark Lord. No contest.

 

Regular Dark Lord? It's not barrel aged. Or are you referring to a specific variant?

I thought bourbon barrel aged insidious was pretty horendous. It tasted like movie theater popcorn

 

I'm not a fan of Dragons Milk. It tastes like Dragons Milk.

 

Oude Tart. At least you pretty much know that Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale isn't trying to be all that great, judging by the price. Whereas Oude Tart fails so spectacularly at being a quality Flemish sour that it is far, far worse, all things considered.

 

Yup, GIGO

 

i love all the comments about the Kentucky Bourbon Ale, hahaha ive had people coming into the store after looking all over to find it. i just point them to sammy smith's yorkshire stingo.

 

I have to say that my biggest disappointment with a BA beer is

Emelisse White Label Imperial Russian Stout (Bunnahabhain BA)

Was just way to overwhelming on the peat and smoke. Alcohol came through semi medicinal. Was just a wreck compared to there other white label imperial stouts.

 

FFF Bully Guppy

Hands down - nothing else even comes close (aside from nail polish remover)

 

Kentucky Bourbon Barrel isn't great, but it's not trying to be either. It's the Budweiser of bourbon barrel beers.

The real fails are when beers try.

This might be the worst I can recall that I don't believe was infected (Newport Storm Rum Barrel Porter):

It wasn't disastrous, but it missed.

A couple of the Mikkeller Black Holes were pretty bad too.

 

I'm going to go with Barrel Aged Wake Up Dead from Left Hand.

 

Foothills Peoples Porter

 

Wait are you serious? I can't tell if you're joking but most of the world's best sours are aged in barrels ...

 

!!!

 

Yeah -- I christened that one "The Dogwater." Blech!

 

Maybe he means Bourbon barrel Aged sour?

 

"Any barrel aged sour"

I disagree, gueuze is pretty awesome.

 

Two that come to mind don't taste offensive per se, or even like the barrel picked up bad flavors, they are just weak beers with half ass attempts to be barrel aged. They were both ridiculously cheap too which was my first warning sign:

Milwaukee Brewing Co Baltic Porter
