    -Flying dog old bay summer ale
    -Terrapin/ Green Flash collab. tangerine dreamsicle IPA. Basically an IPA with oranges and lactose like a milk stout
    -Flying fish exit 1. Oyster stout. I know it's an old style but thought it was still unique and odd.
    -James Paige brewing. Casper white stout. Stout with Pilsen malts and white chocolate.
    -evil genius ma the meatloaf. Mango wit. Only beer I've had with mango
    - Sam Adams porch rocker tasted like a beer with strong/ tart iced tea in it.
    - flying dog earl grey black wheat. Dunkelweizen with earl grey tea.

    Either Cigar City Hunhapoopoo, made with Kopi Luwak coffee, or Ecto Cooliner from Cycle, which looks and tastes EXACTLY like Ecto Cooler juice boxes from the 90s

    Fantome Hiver.

    Randomly found it with some mold on the label for like 15 bucks here in New Jersey. Bought it not expecting much but it was awesome. still had plenty of flavor, and it was certainly unique

    I had Kuhnhenn's BA stock ale! It was crazy unique. Like a caramel Granny Smith apple.
    My vote would be Short's OMGWTFBBQ! That barbecue flavored beer has to be the most unique beer I've had.

    I got that caramel granny smith flavor from Prairie AB Noir, it was delicious. I can't really describe the flavor I got from the BA Stock Ale, something like a bourbon pineapple barleywine lol!

    Arcade Graveyard Shift was interesting, in a kinda-good/kinda-bad way.

    Carton Irish Coffee, one of the most unique beers I've tried.

    I would say the beers that have stood out the most as being unique the first time I tried them were:

    Lobster lovers Beer
    Bells - Venus
    Ballast Point - Indra Kinundra (which I buy on the regular as I really enoy it in small quantities aka always share a bottle with the Gf)
    Stone - dry rub ipa was very unique and enjoyable
    Legacy - Ginger Rodgers (tasting like a liquid form of "Gin-gins" candy)
    Ballast point - sushi beer (brewed with wasabi and ginger) tap only.
    Iron fire - the undead carny (stout infused with cotton candy)
    Wyders - tequilla barrel aged pear cider
    Avery - Momi Hiwa (not super rare or anything but I've never had another beer like it. still one of my all time favorites)
    Pizza port - squid ink beer (yes, brewed with real squid ink)

    I'm sure there are tons more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

    The four Sisters Series from Goose Island

    Dogfish head Ta Henket (hated the beer but it was definitely unique)

    I've had the AB Noir too and can definitely say I liked that one more than the stock ale. Someone described the stock ale as a sour 4d. I'm glad I got to try the stock ale, but I don't need to have it again!

    The two most unique beers that I've had are Cantillon Rose De Gambrinus and Shepherd Neame Bishop's Finger.

    I think that is Cantillon 50°N-4°E.
