      @emceeQ:

      Dragons Milk by New Holland Brewing is always my go to recommendation.  It's one of their main lines, so it is consistently available wherever they distribute and is a damn good example of the style.
       
      The Goose Island Bourbon County, as you mentioned, is another one that tends to be more widely available in my area.

      There are a few more that pop up on draft around me with some frequency that I'm blanking on the names of right now.  I'll post when I remember them though…

      I certainly enjoy Dragon's Milk, but prefer a little more bourbony - GI BCS isn't distributed here.  Any others?  I usually stoop to adding whiskey and vanilla to breakfast stout.

        My local pub now sells this…...

        ......ratebeer says it's good, any opinions from dudes across the pond?

        It's not as good as it's name.  Still good though.

          British beer for me today!.. 5.2% (but I'm cheating as it's 50cl… Although I'm not drinking it all... Well: probably not...) Lotsa kiwi, lotsa white wine... This is something I could drink all day long on a hot summer day... Grand stuff!..

            Oi! Beer is only meant to flow one way between Belgina and the UK….stop screwing with the system  😠

              It's masively refreshing, and if you love South-Pacific white wines and fruits (no I'm not talking about Snowy and Mild7) like I do, it's a god's send on a warm day like today!..

                Justin,

                See if you can find any of the Shipwreck Porter from Arcadia Ales. It's a 12% that is VERY bourbon heavy, almost like a strong cocktail booze wise. It gets pricey for a 12oz bottle, but if over the top bourbon barrel is what you're looking for, I don't think there's a better choice I know of.

                    That does look good…. on the list of things to find 😉 I still like this though for getting that heavy bourbon flavor without just drinking bourbon.

                        I am not a fan of regular old raspy, but this stuff was great.  Top 10 all time for me.

                            You're gonna get a case without having tried the one?..

                              😉 😉 😉 Not a case of it, a couple of those along with some other selections to fill out a case. If I have to order from a vendor and have it shipped, I am going to make sure I find enough varied brews that are unavailable to me that half of said case will likely be things I haven't tried.

                                I need a vendor that will ship to PA, who are you using?  I had to make my bones with illicit trading due to our odd laws and (at the time) scant selection.

                                            Last summer Green Man Brewery in Asheville had some homemade malt liquor on tap….it was outstanding. Light and crisp with a fruity finish that just went perfect with the weather. Just look at those delicate tufts of lacing just barely clinging on..... No idea what the name was as I proceeded to get quite drunk on it.

                                            I always like to keep a little of this french broad kolsch around during the summer to get me through my hausaufgarbage…Great kolsch (really under explored style if you ask me) and its like $3.50 for a 750ml bottle.
