    Expired BrewDog Paradox Islay Batch 9. I know, I know, it was expired, but it's a BA Imperial Stout that was bottled less than three years before I consumed it, so I thought it would be okay. Nope, tasted like someone made a big breakfast and let it sit for a couple of days at room temperature.

    2012 Eclipse Imperial Stout.

    A great brew, don't get me wrong, but at $25 I felt like an asshole buying it.

    And the Old Raspy XXV... again, the price.

    I've only had two beers that I have purchased that I actually hated:

    1. ST Creme Brûlée
    2. Anchor Christmas

    Couldn't finish either one.

    Definitely not worth it. I think I paid $15 for mine and felt like I got robbed...

    Elysian BiFrost. I was actually really interested to try it out, knowing it wasn't a typical winter beer, and I couldn't even get through half the bottle. Calling it a schizophrenic hot mess would actually be kind. Completely awful.

    Immediate drain pour and disposal of the other 5.

    You're allowed to bring your own beer to a bar?

    A buddy of mine bought their altbier a while, and it was absolutley dreadful. It tasted like olive juice, and stunk like trash or something along those lines.

    I would not buy it for that. If you can find it that cheap, and really want to try it go for it. If it is bad, you were warned :wink:

    How dare you sir! I will not let you tarnish the name of Pearl Jam! Plus I haven't had the beer yet and now you've ruined it for me :slight_frown:

    Voodoo Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana. I wouldn't touch another Rogue Voodoo collaboration even if it cured my Irish curse.

    For awhile and I shared many beers, but alas the owner decided it was too risky so put a stop to it. I still bring a bottle by for a staff member every once in a while, but they are for them to take home.

    Ruckus Hoptimus Prime. Had heard good things about the beer, but didn't know that the name had been sold to Ruckus and the recipe had changed. A total let down.
