    For me it’s either Two Hearted or Expedition. Basically its whichever one I've had most recently that's my favorite.

    That's a tough one to answer. Black Note is probably the best barrel aged stout I've ever had. That being said, Hopslam, Expedition Stout and Two Hearted are all excellent and deserve consideration. I do remember drinking mini-kegs of Oberon with my family when we were all on vacation and sitting on the beach. I remember thinking how that beer was pretty much the perfect beer for that occasion. If I'm picking with my palette it's Black Note, if I'm picking with my heart then it's Oberon.

    Black Note was head and shoulders better than anything they produce. So yeah that.

    Expedition comes in at a close second.

    The Dagger Stout and Baltic Porter belong in bottles. Those 2 were excellent at the Cafe.

    I really think Two Hearted is a classic, but Black Note is probably the best Bell's beer I've had.

    Expedition Stout by a long shot. Amazing stuff, and I've got a few bottles aging that already have a couple years on them.

    This was just a Baltic Porter, and it was very good, and it did not need to in a barrel to make me happy!
