I've been looking for this for so long and the wait has made it so much sweeter.

How does this compare to the standard version of this beer?
I wasn't hugely impressed by the non barrel-aged version, despite the impressive reviews i'd heard about it.

Depends on what you're looking for. Its base taste is very similar to the standard one, with an added powerful flavor of alcohol thanks to the bourbon barrel and upped ABV. I also found it significantly darker with a hefty coffee flavor, along the lines of some of the heavier imperial stouts I've had.

Basically if you like high ABV and darker than Hades, you'll enjoy it. It's a bold flavor very similar to other bourbon barrel'd stouts. Worth a shot, I'd say. Especially since it's a rare find.

After last night I can definitively say that I am a Jameson man rather than a Bushmills man. The aftertaste is so much better. I hadn't given Irish whiskeys an honest shot, now I have to explore a bit.

Seeing as today is St Pats day I figure Ill go drink an ass load of green beer. My soon to be step mother works for the beer and liquor distributor that supplies the bar we are going to so she "says" we will get free beer.

got a four pack of guinness last night for obvious reasons. when I finished the first can I heard something rattling around inside, so I opened it up and found a little plastic ball inside. at first I was confused as shit and a little pissed, but then I googled it and found out that its to give it a thicker, creamier head like a draught beer when you pour it. I tried it out and it was ....ing delicious

Did I resolve to not drink this Tuesday night? Did I decide to have a couple just to mellow out? Am I now several deep, listening to side 3 of The Wall, bumming-the-fuck-out? Oh, beer.

Had a productive day otherwise, swear to god.

Well... Three months of sobrietey down the drain. Well... tomorrow would have been three months but my fiancee left me and took my two kids. I'm all the way through a bottle of pinot noir, a handful of shots of Evan Williams and a handful of shots of I don't know what and some glasses of some cheap wiskey that I can't remember the name of, haha.

don't beat yourself up dude, if that's not a reason to drink then I don't know what is. I've been there too man, its the ....ing worst feeling in the world. just take it a day at a time, one day of slipping up doesn't mean you have to give up on it altogether.

I love me some Jack and I really love me some Fireball so this was definitely on my radar once I heard about it last month.

I've got 2 bottles (1 for my roommate) sitting here next to me right now. I'll be sure to let you guys know how it tastes when I actually decide to start drinking it, probably tonight or tomorrow night :lol:
