   Some brewers know how to do barrel aging. Both the beer and the barrel contribute to the aroma, in a lovely harmony.

     @tastingcraftbeer @beersofmastodon sadly too many brewers don't know how to do it well and it simply tastes like somebody has poured a shot into your pint. Good barrel aging is a true art.

     @GregorDeBalzac @tastingcraftbeer @beersofmastodon I don't have an issue with high abv beers, but they have to be done well. The cheap stuff is just loaded with sugar and sickly sweet, but there are plenty of Imperial Stouts and Porters that are great and are horribly easy to drink.

     I remember finding Waiting For The Tide To Come In Baltic Porter and had 5 beers not realising it was 10% abv, I didn't last long after my fifth beer 😂

     The bigger issue I find, at least in the US, is that barrel aged beers tend to have higher alcohol and thus higher sugar content, often to the point where it's syrupy.

     @kevie @beersofmastodon very much so. The flavor of the barrel should not take over the flavor of the beer, it should complement it!

     @GregorDeBalzac @tastingcraftbeer @beersofmastodon The bottle I had of Continue 2023 by Nerdbrewing this week packed a punch at 16.2% but it wasn't booze heavy https://untp.beer/8vL9L

     @tastingcraftbeer @GregorDeBalzac @beersofmastodon highly recommended, however it was very rich. I'd recommend sharing it with a friend
