    Heady Topper, almost all HF, Zombie Dust, KH, BCBS, Cantillon fruits and damn near anything Armand puts in a bottle other than on long road trips. That is all.

    I am so happy you mentioned Sucks. That was my initial thought when seeing this thread!

    Thanks, now I follow. Can't get 13% brews in Ohio and am yet to see any Bourbon County beers out here.

    Rare, KH, Southhampton Black Raspberry, Cable Car, & AB Huna all delivered as much or more than expected for me recently.

    I wish I could agree. I trade a case, if not more, of Abyss every year. And I love stouts.

    But to contribute to this thread - Cantillons, Black Albert, HT, KBS. It's easier to list the ones that don't live up to the hype.

    I agree with a lot of the ones already mentioned (GI Bourbon County Vanilla, Zombie Dust, Heady Topper etc.) but to add something different, Hoppin' Frog's B.O.R.I.S. lived up to the hype for me.

    When it comes to Hoppin' Frog the question should be changed to "Did it live up to the price tag?"

    For me, Pliny the Younger was worth all the effort. It is still the best beer I've ever had, and while I do really like DIPA's, they aren't my favorite style.

    Not sure if PtE is really hyped or not, but it was sublime
