    Cream Stout and Old Fizziwig are my two favorite. I like almost everything they offer except the Cranberry lambic and the summer ale that tasted like lemon peels.

    After looking at my scores:
    1. Sam Adams Imperial Stout @ 4.4
    2. Dark Depths @ 4.2
    3. Fat Jack and Merry Mischief were tied @ 4

    Hmmm . . . Good thread, as I look at these scores and wonder if they`re inflated due to lack of knowledge or previous bias. I will be most likely revisiting these brews. Probably shouldn`t question myself on this, they just seem a bit high.

    I also like their Dunkel Weizen. I think that one should be available all the time everywhere. Awesome beer!!!

    It's all about the Boston Ale, baby!

    Runners up are Boston Lager and Cream Stout.

    Noble Pils! Also, Boston Lager is a nice beer when fresh. Double Agent is solid too.

    I have liked all of the small batch products I have tried. The Vixen would be the absolute fave if it was available. Sam Adams runs the gamut for me from good Lord that is awful to yummy can I have another.

    Merry Mischief, Third Voyage, Imperial Stout.

    Also 13th Hour, Tasman Red and Holiday Porter deserve honorable mention.
    And let's not forget Cream Stout and Latitude 48.

    Honestly, the thing I love about Samuel Adams beers is that when they're good, they're GREAT. But on the flipside, when they're not very good, it's dramatically bad.
