    Beer is like music in that there is always the chance that something new will push something older out of your immediate recollection. However, like music, there are those beers that always hover and come to mind, thus they must be regarded as among your all time favorites, although any question like this tends to be very fluid in nature (Ha ha). Anyway...

    La Fin Du Monde
    Peche Mortel
    Tree Hophead DIPA
    Rochefort 10
    Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout

    Hey, I've got a King Henry I've been sitting on. I've heard a few conflicting bits of advice on how long to wait to enjoy this guy. Your thoughts?

    So I had it back in 2012 and thought it was pretty amazing. I'd check some of the recent reviews and just judge for yourself. Report back if you decide to pop it!
