    I'm enjoying mine right now. I just gave BA Abraxas a 4.96 which is easily .10 higher than my next highly-rated beer. What is your highest-rated and is there a big gap between it and others you've tried?

    Firestone Walker XVIII (18)! Had it on tap and it was phenomenal.

    My highest rated is Three Floyds Cimmerian Sabertooth Berzerker. In my opinion, a perfect beer, and the only one so far to receive a 5. Next in line, both with a 4.95 is Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale and Three Floyds Blot Out the Sun. Not sure about the BOTS at this point. It was the first FFF beer I tried, and was undoubtedly awesome, but I would like to revisit this one at some point and see what I think of it after getting a little variety under my belt.

    I don't really screw around with number ratings too much, but if I did I think Burton Baton would clock a ~4.85 or in that area. Easily my favorite brew at the moment (at least out of those I can easily procure and/or don't need to be aged).

    Haven't tried Firestone yet. My older brother raves about it. Haven't got around to it. Must be missing something good.

    Three Floyds Permanent Funeral is my highest rated. It was interesting to look back at ratings. It was mostly stouts and DIPAs near the top which is probably pretty common.

    I have many perfect fives. Factoring in price point and availability near me, my favorite beer is Jack's Abby Hoponious Union.

    I've got Oaked Arrogant Bastard and Stone's Chai IRS sitting at 4.91, and Bitches Brew at 4.83.

    I don't think I'm well-versed enough in my beer to give something a perfect 5. I would have to have absolutely no doubt in my mind that it couldn't be improved in any way to do that.

    Clown shoes- clementine.

    It was such a perfect beer to me. looked great. Smelled so amazing. Taste was incredible. Think Ive only seen them in four packs? Not sure because I had a bomber but would love to see sixers. I don't think I'd give a beer a perfect 5 just based on I consider availability part of it and there is so much out there it's rare I re visit a beer and if it's that good that I revisit it, then It will be the perfect beer for me.

    before I did actual rates? Parabola 2014 since then bourbon county stout and Vanilla Rye although was sick when i drank that so Im sure it would have beaten regular BCS out.

    I've given perfect fives to:

    Double Sunshine
    West Ashley
    DB Huna
    Herfst
    Fou Foune
    Vanilla Rye
    Armand & Tommy

    I guess those would be my perfect beers.

    I've given a few too many beers perfect scores, so it would have to come down to memory and I'd say that it's a tie between Stickee Monkee and Grey Monday on tap. Both phenomenal and I can easily remember the taste even though they both were a while ago.
