Don't think it would appeal to me, but my Lexington son says it's pretty good.

I moved to KY from Seattle last August and figured one of the things I was giving up was good beer. Then I was in an Irish Pub in the Highlands area and I asked for a dark beer. They recommended BBC Bourbon Barrel Stout. I tried it and it was the best beer I ever tasted. I also found out that it is $11 a four pack.

I bought a four pack and it was so sour I thought it was past its pull date. But it wasn’t. I’ll be trying it on tap again.

Meanwhile, I notice the Sams Club here has their Ale, for the same ridiculous price. I’ll give it a shot, though.

I thoroughly enjoy it. But, to really appreciate the flavor, you should only drink one at a time. The finish is sort of diluted if you drink a second one. If you want a second beer, follow it with something else.

I used to drink BBC bourbon barrel stout. Which was pretty good for a long time. But they changed something and the quality became inconsistent, as well as it just not being very good anymore.

If craft brews can be made in Knoxville, Iowa, it can be made anywhere.

I was in Lexington this past November and tried it. I have to say, I am not a fan. However, I am not a big fan of Bourbon in general, so that probably tainted my opinion.

Ping to the Bourbon List for a craft beer.

In late 2011, Alltech began selling Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale in China

The stuff is seriously good, particularly on tap, but I've never seen any outside of Kentucky.
