Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPAThis beer meets two important criteria:
1) Best beer I've ever drunk
2) Most drunk I've ever been after a beer
So, this beer has single handedly changed my dinner plans from take-out to delivery. At 21% alcohol. this packs a punch (and is therefore requiring significant editing during this typing session). If you ever see this beer, buy every one they have in the store, regardless of price. If a second mortgage is required, call the bank and do what you have to do to buy all of these. I don't know how they spend that extra half hour, but however it is, I'm not sure it should be legal.
I came home after a fairly exhausting summer-school-Friday ready for a nice beer. This particular beer is socking it to me, in a good way. This is like a Hopslam, with twice the hop flavor (still tasty and balanced, not bitter) and twice the alcohol. Best of all worlds unless you are a state trooper, who would probably not agree. I'm going back whenever the liquor store opens tomorrow and buying all of these that they have, even though they are like $9 a 12 oz. The single greatest beer I've ever imbibed. I will try to save one or two for beerfest, but in all honesty I'm not sure I have the willpower. 10/5
Oskar Blues Ten Fidy Imperial Stout - I almost titled this thread "Best beer ever to come out of a can". I'm not sure why Oskar Blues cans instead of bottles, but who am I to argue if it is good. Good tastes of chocolate and nice oily palate. This is probably the heaviest bodied beer I've ever had. At 90 IBUs, there is good bitterness for the hop types and huge malts to satisfy me. Top notch. It will be added to the Beerfest list shortly. Probably a little better than the Storm King, but I need a head-to-head battle to tell for sure.
