Hey guys,

Last year was my first experience with bourbon barrel aged beers and I tried the following:
Bourbon county stout and old Rasputin barrel aged.

Do you guys have any other recomendatjons that I should look for in the upcoming months?

Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout, around November.

But in general, bba stouts are worth a trial and error approach imo. Almost always good to very good and some are incredible. .02

Definitely BCBS, incredible but also very hard to find and expensive. Worth it to me if I can find a four pack once in awhile.

Allagash Curieux, a bit pricy but worth trying.
An outstanding beer.

I've never been into bourbon so bourbon beers weren't my thing but I've very much warmed up to them. Done right they are fantastic.

I have only had a Belgian ale called Tsjeeses Reserva BBA (Bourbon Barrel Aged) by De Struise Brouwers .. De Struise also has a Port Barrel Aged. Not sure how easy is it to get your hands on these in the US. I know they collaborated with Three Floyds to make the super stout, Black Damnation. If you can get any De Struise beer, get it all! Small company with big flavor!

Whoooaaa, don't even get me started on one of my favorite topics or I will go on for pages & pages! Attached is the article that got me started in frenzied search for these rare ales. After sampling many of them around the world I still come back to Dragon's Milk Stout as one of my favorite barrel aged beers of all time! Ohh, and then there's Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale and, and, and. Like I said.
