barnburner

Any thing, event, or occasion that is especially exciting, impressive, or successful. I had so much fun at Jonathan's bachelor party last night—it was a real barnburner! The majority of the game was rather lackluster, but it was a barnburner in the final quarter. This playoff match-up between the top two teams in the conference should be quite a barnburner.
