The most unique beers you ever had...

Ballast Point Indra Kunindra is just really unique; an Indian meal in liquid form. I would also say He'Brew RIPA on Rye is really interesting and has a ton going on.

 

Of course, DFH was ahead of the curve when it introduced Theobroma. While not a stout, I have to believe that it influenced all of these beers that followed.

Well, they say if you can't say something nice... So, "unique" is a perfect word for this series.

As for me? I'd have to go with the recent CCB/Max Lager collaboration Black Ash Lager. I've never had a beer that tasted of blue cheese and dill. Mercifully, it was well done and the hops kept the beer grounded.

 

I'm with this guy. I don't even think its close.

 

Hoppin' Frog Infusion A

 

Two actually: 1 pretty good and 1 very bad

Bad: Defiant Orange Cream Ale-Just like it sounds. Tastes like a liquified creamsicle with carbonation.

Good: Beer Deviner Ancient Gruit-anything with wormwood, grains of paradise, and yarrow would fit the category of "unique". Wormwood is a unique bittering agent that pairs well with the herbal aromatics of the yarrow.

 

The 3 that come to mind the quickest:
Sam Adam's Utopias
Mikkeller's Beer Geek Brunch Weasel
Orval

 

DFH Ta Henket. Strange but I really dig it.

 

Funky Buddha More Moro
Evil Twin Hop Flood
Revolution Rosa

 

Brunch Weasel is amazing.

 

Kuhnhenn Bourbon Barrel French Toast Mead (I know; not a beer but made by a beer company)
Cycle Brewing Cream and Sugar Please. Taste just like diner coffee it's crazy

 

Mango Magnifico-pretty intense, but the peppers were overkill. I honestly couldn't pawn it off to anybody in the house.

Green Flashes Rayon Vert-had it's ups and downs, but in the end wasn't for me.

Kbs- loved the whiskey feel.

I would have to say that any of the dogfish head ancient ales belong on here, as well as a chocolate-orange porter that Saranac brewed recently.

 

Agreed! We did a blind tasting with it and Beer Geek Breakfast, and Weasel crushed it.

Founder's Doom

 

GUBNA! Like drinking simple syrup but has the craziest unique mellowed out hop notes like no other ipa and then a 10% abv that hits ya pretty good. Oskar Blues is world class and GUBNA is not necessarily the best beer but its like nothing else

 

Avery's Odio Equum

 

Lost Nation Gose, it was awesome and I have not had anything else that really reminded me of it since.

 

Anything Fantome:

Especially Magic Ghost:

 

A Berliner weisse made by a draught only brewer called Doctors Orders here in Australia. It's called Cephalopod and has a shit tonne of squid ink in it. It's literally blue. Weird stuff but tasty.

 

Hill Farmstead E. and RR Consecration come to mind
