    Just to nit-pick a little...Taj Mahal is brewed in New York, and while it's nothing particularly special or anything I buy regularly, it's really not all that horrendous either. You could do much worse.

    +1 for Ghost Face Killah

    MUST be the last beer you drink as it will burn your taste buds and half your face off.

    Actually that's good to hear. I had it years ago, the version that was actually from India. I'm sure part of the problem was the age & handling. But still... it was awful. Kinda makes me want to try the new New York version now....

    Yeah rogue voodoo doughnut would be the best.

    I actually liked that one, but it was probably very fresh when I had it. It does sound like it would be disgusting though, I did not expect to like it.

    If you can still find it, Mikeller Black Hole Stout Peat Whiskey Edition. Tasted like old socks.

    *Harpoon Big Squeeze Shandy UGH!!! Regular UFO, or white, is OK, even better adding citrus, but with it already in there? Blechhhh!!! The lemon taste like artificial, extreme concentrate. One sip, & drain pour. I'd guess the rest of the flavor-added series is at least as bad. My bet would be on the pumpkin.
    ** Agree on the Cave Creek Chili = Miller + old chili heat, but no real pepper flavor.
    *** Wachusetts Blueberry Again, blechhhh!
    ****Shiner Bock. A nanosecond of winey maltiness, then sharp carbonation, then............ nothing
    **+++ Trinity Red Swingline Has to be the worst-smelling beer I've ever come across but...... the flavor is surprisingly awesome. :slight_smile: Smells like a field that got manured 2-3 weeks ago, dried, then it rained again last night, & you're smelling it just after. Not an approximation. Exactly what it smells like. I was walking by a field in that exact state, the morning after drinking it. Not fresh manure,either. Bottom-of-slurry-pond-for-months, manure smell. :slight_smile:

    DFH Ta Henket? Loved it. The banana bread beer? Tolerable, in the right mood. By no means good, but nowhere near the worst

    Beer Lao has a distinctive dusty/rice taste but it might not be nearly weird enough for this party!:astonished:

    i'm a big fan of the Belgian Lambics, but is this a whole different ball game?

    I agree with those who have suggested Indra Kunindra, Ghost Face Killah, or Watermelon Dorado, not because I don''t like them (I do) but because they are generally reviled and thus would probably fit your criteria. If I was doing this, though, I'd pick Guinness Nitro IPA, no question. As far as I can tell, this has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

    Well, not from Pajottenland, not a lambic recipe, and done as part of a series of single yeast beers to showcase pure Brett strains, including this crazy one, B. Bouckaerti, that you might not get to taste otherwise. Try it is all I can say, B. Lambicus throws some pretty hormonal flavors too, could be up your alley.

    I went in with a completely open mind when trying Guinness Nitro IPA and wow.. Absolutely abysmal. In full agreement on that one because I was actually surprised just how poor it was.

    I think "horribly bizarre" is an excellent way to describe Dragontrax. Not the worst beer I've had by any means, but just weird, and not at all in a good way. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/25963/142967/ Although it's rated an 89, that's pretty bad for a BA stout, and the only reason it's that high is that a bunch of people waited in line for hours to get it. Trust me, it's really bad, yet also weirdly interesting.

    Also far up on the horribile-bizarre spectrum is Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout, brewed with bull balls. It's about as terrible as it sounds. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/986/91838/

    These are probably not available but fall under what I would say is bizarre;
    Brewdog "The End Of History"
    Rogue Beard Beer
    Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer
    Funky Buddha Maple Bacon Coffee Porter
    Wynkoop Brewing Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout
    New Belgium Coconut Curry Hefeweizen

    I agree with you on the Guinness Nitro IPA. What the hell were they thinking?. This was a horrible flat mess and a waste of what might have been somewhat of a decent IPA, maybe !
