What's your #1 rated beer?

Rochefort 10. It really is noticeably better than every other beer I've ever had, though a younger and more properly stored Westy 12 might give it a run for its money. We shall see.

 

Here's a link to my 50 highest rated. Some real gems in there.

Haven't technically rated yet. But having only consumed one pint of Heady Topper six months ago, it's the only beer I can imagine the taste of so vividly. And Ommegang BPA really blew me away recently.

 

My top rated is the Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier. I love that beer, but the Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale I tried this week might be my favorite so far. I got a lot more to try though.

 

FBS. Protip: It tastes best on a Sunday afternoon when the family is all napping and Ohio State (Football or BBall) is on TV.
In all seriousness, this beer was a 4.5 when I had it in the evening, and a perfect 5 in the afternoon. Reconfirmed multiple times, for my palate this is the PERFECT afternoon beer. For my "Had", averaged it out to a 4.75.
And yes, I suppose I should probably try this in the morning, considering the name. My wife would probably start looking up numbers for AA if I broke out a beer at breakfast though...

 

I don't have any on hand. Is there a specific year you're looking for?

 

Rochefort 10

 

My hads show 4.75 for only Celebrator, Ruination 10th, Bourbon County Coffee & Old Backus ( barleywine found on cask at Free State in Lawrence KS)
As part of a winter weekend I had two sniffers of Old Backus Friday and opened a King Henry ( previous 4.5) and Sucaba 2012 ( just gave 4.5) before and after the game.
Upon reflection I need to bump King Hank up a notch, so much going on there even compared to two great English style Barleywines.

 

Right now as the world spins around, I have to say that after a bottle share this past weekend with 5 different FiftyFifty Imperial Eclipse's, a White Chocolate, Consecration, and NUMEROUS great brews; the one that really stood out for me was a Mother Earth (N.C.) Windowpane Series Fig and Raisin. That shyt is off the hook !!

 

To date it would have to be The King named Henry.

 

#1 Beer is: Cutters Empire bourbon Barrel Stout

 

#1 for me is 2006 BA Darkness. A friend of mine received one and we had a big tasting around it. I would also throw in Rare, King Henry, Black Tuesday and 2008 IST.

 

I think I would have to go with Zombie Dust. Hard to choose though.

 

The Abyss
Cherry Rye
Birth of Tragedy
Founders Imperial Stout
Short's Publican Porter
Kern Citra DIPA
...Ok I guess that is 6.

 

You don't get a name like "the king of beers" for nothing!

 

KBS in the spring, Kellerweis in the summer, Backwoods Bastard in the fall, Too many good Imperial Stouts in the winter to mention.

 

Mine would be Heady Topper, Backwoods Bastard and anything Bourbon County

 

K B S

 

Three Floyds' Dreadnaught IPA, Three Philosophers

 

I thought that's the regular?
