Best Barrel Aged Imperial Stout?
Possibly one of the most decadent of any style or category of beer may be the Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. Many brewers have created magic by making a hefty Imperial Stout and aging in oak barrels, whether it be fresh oak barrels or barrels previously used to age whiskey.
Below is nearly 30 of the most amazing Barrel Aged Imperial Stouts, and we’d like you to pick the best one. We know we might be missing something important, so please let us know with a write in vote, by using the comment section below. Poll closes July 28, 2011 at 5 PM PDT.
A few rules and tips:
- Only one vote per person. You can ‘rally up the troops’ using your favorite social media site, but we ask they you keep it fair.
- If the beer you think should be voted for isn’t on the list, you can write in the vote. TFP reserves the right to add a write in vote to the main list in order to keep track of the votes better. Once we add a popular write-in vote to the main list, it will not be counted for as a write-in any longer
- If you are having difficulties voting or writing in, please contact us via our Contact form at https://thefullpint.com/contact-us
- If the beer is aged on oak cubes or chips, it is not eligible for this poll. A great example would be Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout. Sorry =-)

Too bad no one mentioned WEYERBACHER Heresy ! That is the best Aged Imperial Stout i’ve ever had !

How does Maui have 2% but 0 votes? I wish that I had tasted more of these to make a better informed decision.

So many good beers to choose from here, looks like a Christmas list for me (WINK, WINK). I’m surprised Dark Lord didn’t get more love considering all the hype it gets.

How many folks have actually had the Maui KGB? Extremely tasty brew only available at the brewery.

Boulevard Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout

Arrgh, I agree Parabola is great, but Founders Kentucky gets my X.
Hazzah!

To bad more people do not get to try Bells BB Double Cream/Expo, it is wonderful. As expected the top vote getters are in bottled releases (aka white whales). Nice to see Nebraska BA Black Betty getting some love, a knockout at the GTMW.

Absolutely nothing can best Parabola. You just can’t improve perfection. Only thing even semi-close is my all-around fave brewery’s offering, The Abyss.

I’m a West Coaster, but Goose Island, Founder’s, and Three Floyd’s are my favorites, along with the unlisted Bluegrass Brewing’s Jefferson’s Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout.

I have had Black Tuesday, but I had to vote for Stone’s IRS. I was also a big fan of Big Sky’s and Bootleggers as well.
July 6, 2011 @ 10:58 pm
The Bruery Black Tuesday slightly edges out Parabola.
July 6, 2011 @ 10:07 pm
Black Bety wasn’t worth the $25 tag for me…
:\

I must submit Karl Strauss’ 22nd Anniversay Vanilla Imperial Porter for some recognition. I have not cracked my Parabola(s) yet, but the KS was a great 9%er, and for the price ($6 locally) it was one helluva beer.
Salud!

It looks like the right one is winning. Parabola is amazing! 🙂
July 6, 2011 @ 12:37 pm
Tim, is the Kopi Barrel Aged? I think it’s only treated with the Kopi beans?
July 6, 2011 @ 12:29 pm
I have 2 Parabola’s in the Cellar right now. Haven’t had a chance to break open yet, I also have the Barrel Aged B.O.R.I.S. sitting there waiting for me to try…I haven’t been lucky enough to try Black Tuesday. I just recently had a 2011 KBS. And I had an ’09 Abyss. If the KBS would have been aged, I might have went there but the ’09 Abyss was simply AMAZING!
July 6, 2011 @ 12:20 pm
it was a close top three for me between Black Tuesday, Marshal Zhukov’s, and Parabola. Hard to say the “best” but I can definitely make a good top 5 or 10 list of best stouts ever from that list.
July 6, 2011 @ 12:07 pm
How about Nebraska Reserve BA Black Betty?
July 6, 2011 @ 12:05 pm
Someone should buy me one of all of these; I don’t mind having multiples 😉
July 6, 2011 @ 12:04 pm
Too hard to say. 5 on the list are tied for the top honor for me on my Ratebeer ratings. The Alesmith Kopi… is not on the list and is my only stout rated higher. Guess I’ll be a homer and go Alesmith…
July 6, 2011 @ 11:56 am
never mind
July 6, 2011 @ 11:54 am
I don’t see a list
July 6, 2011 @ 11:51 am
I don’t see a list “below” or where to vote like the there was in the March stout contest.
