    Ispwich Oatmeal Stout

    And Portsmouth brewery makes one of the best stouts I have ever had - oatmeal stout that is... ;-) Milk Stout is no slouch either... Kind of glad they don't excite the beer geeks like Kate though.

    Short's Huma Lupa Licious IPA - Never really see it mentioned here. Do people know this gem exists?? Best American IPA on the market methinks.

    Never had the Tripel but if it's anything like their Saison then I trust you.
    I wish I still lived in Ohio.

    uinta's hop notch, ska brewing's modus hoperandi and steel toe stout come to mind immediately. i don't know why i don't hear more about hop notch, it's amazing. i can understand ska being limited in distro though.

    Two come to mind for me. One I mentioned in another thread is Pyramid Outburst Imperial IPA. Best value out there right now at $8 a sixer and downright delicious. The other is Wynkoop's The Coupler. It was a sweet imperial stout brewed with cocoa nibs and hot peppers then aged in Stranahan's barrels. From what I was told, they aren't brewing it again this year, but it was quite possibly the best beer I have ever had.

    P.S. Labyrinth is pretty damn amazing too as others have said

    Narragansett bock lager. $7.99 6 pk of 16oz cans. I've never heard it mentioned and found it in the seasonals
    . Very impressed.

    McMenamins Hammerhead and their Ruby. Never hear any love for them May be because they're all tap only.

    Blue Mountain's Full Nelson pale ale.
    If you just want a damn good beer that doesn't try to impress by being imperial, double, barrel-aged, bourboned, Belgian-inspired, or overhopped, this is it.

    I actually had this in an obscure place sometime ago in rural Virginia Shenandoah county, just on a fluke. It is really impressive I agree.

    Two come to mind (and I'm not sure I'm playing this game exactly right, but):

    Ipswich Oatmeal Stout:
    This can take care of any craving I might have for something like Founders FBS.

    Rock Art Double Smoked Porter:
    I don't know if this was just hitting my palate really well on the day I had it, but I really loved this baltic-style porter... I guess a little more than others do as I look at the reviews.
