Congrats on the sex.

Oops, wrong board. But pretty much the same thing.

Abbaye De Saint Bon-Chien is my top spot. Cantillon Iris takes my second spot. Tart of Darkness closes out my top 3.

Well played. I'll bite, I guess. It's really hard for me to say some beers are better than others until I try them side-by-side. When you start talking about truly great beers, the ability to perceive levels of greatness is difficult for me, especially when those beers are distinctly different styles.

The Event Horizon
The Bruery Bois
Barrel Aged Sexual Chocolate
2012 Backwoods Bastard
Bourbon County
Yeti has a number of great BA beers
The Russian Rivers I've tasted

Those are a handful that off the top of my head I found myself really enjoying. I've not had all that many, to be fair, but I'm typically a sucker for anything in a barrel.

...I feel like Backwoods Bastard might have been my favorite, but it's so hard to call.

Hahaha! You funny.

Prop has been a great beer to me. Bois is a damn good BA beer. If you can find it 08 BCBS is delicious! I guess I'm bias to bourbon county. Got a rare and remy pappy I'm waiting to try. Hope they are as good should be.

This is tough. Yeezy named some great ones.
BCBS is very tasty, and at the top for a reason. Bois is pretty solid.

Bo & Luke

While on the subject NOLA has a barrel from A Pub's bourbon. If I remember correctly it has a brown in it at the moment.

That was a great one. Here is where, if I kept my Untappd up to date, I could go back and use it as a reference.

I can't list a favorite, but it will have been aged in wine barrels

I'm just not a whiskey/bourbon/rum barrel aged guy. I try, but they just don't do anything for me. I've yet to have one that I want to drink again, and that goes for all the big hyped beers.

Several good ones listed. I'd add Angel's Share from Lost Abbey as one I really enjoyed.

Pretty rare/limited release. I snagged one when I lived in NC. And yes, it was stupid good. That was a while ago. I'd like to try it again now that I've sampled more beers and have a better basis for comparison.

Love wine-barrel aged saisons, sours, etc... but can't take the bourbon barrel aged stuff. If I want something that tastes like bourbon, I'll just drink Bourbon.

My highest rated BA'd beer this year on Untappd was imperial biscotti break bourbon barrel aged so I will go with that...
