Most interesting/complex beer you've had

Alesmith Wee Heavy-every sip is an adventure. Just an amazing puzzle of a beer.

Cheers!

 

St. Bernardus Abt 12

 

Most interesting/complex? Probably would have to go with Rogue's Voodoo Doughnut Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana. Had this for the first time last week and really enjoyed it, but this was the first beer that just made me think what the hell is this and what exactly am I tasting at this very moment? Every sip was like there was something different becoming noticeable and never reappearing.

 

For me it was Hanssens Oudbeitje (sp?). That beer brings a specific funk that I have yet to experience elsewhere. To me it smelled JUST LIKE a stinky french bleu cheese. Throw the strawberry on top of there and it was a really interesting experience.

 

Achel Extra. Sort of otherworldly.

 

Orval, Westvleteren XII, Courage IRS '93 vint, and most Fantome, Cantillon and Drie Fronteinen beers I've tried.

 

Parabola and Cigar City Hunahpu Aged in Brandy Barrels (unbelievable!)...

 

Undoubtedly, Anchorage's Darkest Hour- so much going on in this beer.

 

Bourbon County Brand Stout.

 

I recently had the BA version and it was outstanding. Intense flavors and one of the greatest mouth feels I've experienced in a brew.

 

The most interesting beer I've had in a while is Crooked Stave Nightmare on Brett (Leopold Bros). By far the best bourbon barrel sour I've tried.

 

I second Firestone 17. So glad I found one this year.

 

Evolving Orval is a joy to drink at any stage. +1111 to this post!

 

Another +1 from me.

 

He'Brew Sweet 16 Anniversary. 16 hops, 16 malts, and 16% make for a very interesting brew.

 

Founders Deca, crazy stuff for sure.

 

FW XV blew my mind

 

Bruery Bois, all the FW Anniversary ales, Founders Imperial Stout, Bon Chien come to mind immediately

 

Ballast Point Indra Kunindra.

Seriously: curry, cumin, coconut, cayenne, and lime... in a stout. I compared it to a Willy Wonka candy in my review; the flavor changed as it went down your throat, practically. I've had it a few times and wouldn't rule it out again. It's a lot better than it sounds.
