All of these sound fantastic and have given me a lot to experiment with

Personally tho I always start the night off right with an Irish Car Bomb!

everyone is so into that beer right now. I think it taste like trash. But that's me. Only good thing about it is its alcohol content. Nasty stuff. If all I cared about was alcohol content I'd still be drinking 211..haa.

for a good strong beer. Try something from the snowshoe brewery in arnold. They have a dark beer thats like 6.9 percent or something....burly. Great beer after a long day of snowboarding...two pints of that and I'm ready for bed.

Any one I have had try it automatically gags with one sip. I bought a bottle of the stuff for $4.99 soley because it was normally listed for like $30.00 and I figured it was a deal I couldn't pass up. Turns out I should have. This stuff has become a joke between my friends and I, and we make bets on who can drink the most before barfing. G-R-O-S-S.

I have never seen that...sounds nasty.

I have a special bottle that is my....you think you're a man...drink this..bottle. It's moon shine I brought back from kentucky. Tastes like **** but hit hard.

You like stouts, eh? That's one of my favorite styles, as well. My all time favorites are double and triple bocks, but you can't drink those every day as they pack a wallop.

I recently got a 6er of a stout made by New Belgium Brewing Co. (the makers of Fat Tire). It's called 1554, or some other 4 numbered name. It is superb. I got it at Cost Plus. I haven't seen it anywhere else, but they probably have it at Beverages & More. New Belgium's Abbey Grand Cru is great, too, but I've only seen it once in any store.

Other good darkies:
Anderson Valley Stout or Porter
- Anderson Valley is one of my all time favorite breweries.
Mackeson XXX
Pikes Peak
Sierra Nevada Porter, I prefer it over their stout
Blacke Butte Porter and Obsidian Stout by Deschutes
Rogue's Chocolate Stout

That's all that immediately come to mind. I love imported brews, as well, but the local stuff is usually fresher.

Remember, there is no such thing as a bad beer, but some are better than others.

How in the HELL did I forget about Anchor Brewing Co., one of the best breweries in the world? I like everything they make, especially Liberty Ale (in a glass of course) and their Holiday brew.
