    Never given a 5, there always need room at the top, but I would consider HT/Abrasive/ HF Susan and Ephraim, Pseudo Sue, ZD to be the best of the hoppy stuff I've tried. BCBS and Eclipse EC 20 the best BA Stouts. All IMO are equally phenomenal if not different in their own right..

    I've yet to give a 5. Jai Alai currently is the closest @ 4.83.

    Founders Harvest Ale that I had this Fall. I love fresh hopped harvest ales and this one was the best I've had.

    Lagunitas Sucks. Really damn good beer. They call it the brown sugga' substitute (because brown sugga is so good and hard to find)... Sucks blew it out of the water in a side-by-side.

    I haven't reviewed it yet, but the Firestone Walker XVII Anniversary was really remarkable. Hit it out of the park on every level.

    I thought I was the only one. Posted this beer in the "latest WOW beer" thread. I do think I only gave it a 4.75 though.

    My most recent was Point Whole Hog Pumpkin. I think I have only given out two 5's.

    The only 5 I've given is pseudosue but I'm new to craft beer and most of the stuff I've had is cheaper stuff.

    For me it was Pliny the Elder. After my first few times having this beer it was around a 4.75 or there abouts. Last year I had it a couple dozen more times and I really can't find anything wrong with this beer.

    Year old BCBS is just about a 5 for me.

    The most recent 5/5 for me have been Proprietor's BCBS which I believe was well deserved. The 2nd was 2012 BA Vanilla Dark Lord. I think I would now alter it to 4.5 or 4.75 to be honest. But it was a hell of a lot better than the Reg. '12 DL, which was pretty darn disappointing. BCBBW is very close for me as well.

    Never given a 5/5 for a full review. I've 'ticked' some as a 5 until I have the time to sit down and do a full review.

    I tried AleSmith's Speedway Stout for the first time a few weeks back and gave it a well deserved 5/5.

    I don't give 5s, but the last beer to rock my balls was Kumquat Sour in the Rye.

    I've still yet to give a 5. I gave Hopslam a 4.75 the other day and I only have 2 other beers rated at 4.75 which are WCIPA and Sculpin for me. I'm a Lupulin lover.

    * I never do reviews so I just have the normal ratings.
