Me too, usually.

You won't find it in bottles, but there is a local brewery called 512 that does a Whiskey Barrel Aged Double Pecan Porter. It is put into Maker's Mark barrels as I found out today when I saw them on the racks. Very good beer!

THe killer I had recently was Backwoods Bastard from Founders which is from Van Winkle barrels... it's unreal.

The Goose Island Bourbon County Stout is fantastic also. I am cellaring 4 bottles.

I could have picked up some Brooklyn Brewery Black Ops but passed it was $25 bucks a bottle.

Backwoods is a very good beer but it's aged in HH barrels as Josh pointed out in an earlier post and as I learned while speaking with the Founders rep a month or two ago.

Damn. I think I saw this at the liquor store earlier today. 15%..... black label with large white lettering. I figured if it was so easy to find (I wasn't even looking for it) it would be one of the crappiest so I passed it up..........
