    I don't care to check my actual ratings, which are little to none, but Bourbon County Rare is at the very top of my list.

    Just shared a 2010 regular Bourbon County with my roommate and I can safely report that this beer would come in at #2. It's absolutely incredible still, even after having consumed the better part of a case since I bought it fresh.

    Two Hearted Ale and Bourbon County pretty much cover the entire range for me.
    I could live with just those 2.

    Top ranked is Double Bastard, reviewed when I was fairly new to site, but honestly deserves a super high ranking, just a great and somewhat taken for granted beer.

    Next is CCB Imperial Sweet Stout Cognac, it is to sweet stouts what Michael Jordan was to guards.

    Best beer I ever tasted, though, is Alpine Great. Mmmmm mmmmmm good.

    BCBCS.

    That beer is mind-blowing and I always make sure to ask for one when I trade. It's a beer that would be dangerous if it was readily available here in Texas (which it may be in October of this year! Ack!)

    Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout is definitely my number 1 rated beer. I had the opportunity to grab more than 1 and I didn't. To this day I'm livid at missing that opportunity.

    Just got my 2013 installment of Troegg's Nugget Nectar. Wishing it wasn't a seasonal brew. Smells almost as good as it tastes.

    Bourbon Barreled 4th Dimentia. Every time I open one I am sure it can't possibly be as great as I remember. It's excellent every single time though. :grinning:

    Reviewed: it's a three way tie between Abrasive, Pliny the Elder, and Moon Man (4.48).

    Rated: two way tie between Huma-Lupa-Licious and Union Jack (4.5).

    I guess I like IPAs...
