I just found Oskar Blues Ten Fidy on tap! Thanks for the recommendations above. Once I found it I had to try it.

It is 4:15pm on a Monday and it's time to order my second one. It's a late working lunch.

OK guys, I got got one for those who don't mind a stout that you could cut with a steak knife. What a beast!
"Vicious and viscous, this menacing brew pours opaque black with a creamy maduro-colored head. Its aroma offers seductive whiskey, chewy red wine, dark fruit and lavish tobacco. Berserker Imperial Stout invades your taste buds with in-your-face flavor. Weighing in at almost 13% alcohol by volume, Berserker is completely out-of-control. Give it a good fight.
This version of Berserker Imperial Stout was aged in oak bourbon barrels. The entire batch was transferred from oak into a stainless tank before being filtered, carbonated and packaged in kegs and 22-oz bottles."

Actually it ages quite well. The 2012s are just starting to get really good. At $5/btl its a great low investment way to learn a bit more about how beer works, and what age can do for something. Get 3~4 bottles and put it in a box in the back of your closet and forget about it until you add more bottles the next year. Then its vertical tasting time.

I've never bought it in large quantity, just had it by tje bottle here and there at a few special local microbrew bars. A friend of mine saw it at a somewhat local beer distributor, said it was a $90 case of beer. I was a little shocked at that.
I know Backwoods Bastard is supposed to be their Dirty Bastard scotch ale, but aged in bourbon barrels. I assume the aging process would create the need for the high price.
