    No. That's not even close.

    I spent 2 hrs drinking a 12 oz bottle of BCBS the first time I had it. A combination of the high ABV and just trying to milk it for as long as possible because I didn't want it to end.

    You're a bigger man than I! That beer went down the Drain.

    45ish minutes. Although usually I am much faster.

    I am the exact same way. I usually drink most bombers between an hour and an hour and fifteen minutes.

    A bomber of Pipeworks' As You Wish took me about 3.5 hours to drink. I was sipping it while building some furniture. Probably the longest a bomber has ever taken me to get through, but honestly I was okay with it. It made the mundane task of "building shelving" memorable and enjoyable.

    I imbibe quickly, too. Longest - by FAR - I've spent on a 12 oz bottle is 1-1/2 hours on DFH 120. If that came in a bomber, I wouldn't have finished it. I would have had to cork it (which probably would have been appropriate, given where it falls on the ABV scale).

    Yep. I pull it out of the fridge and typically let it sit for 15-20 mins before pouring. I wholeheartedly enjoy experiencing the change of temperature and how different subtleties of taste and aroma are revealed along the way.

    I feel like the guy asking his first question about sex: "How do you make it last that long?"

    The longest I've ever taken to drink a beer was around 1 hour and it was a 750 mL of La Fin du Monde from Unibroue. Not particularly boozy (it's a 9% Tripel) but it's one of my favourite brews and I like to take my time and enjoy it.

    At 11:01 PM on Saturday I had 4 12 oz. Enjoy By's left, therefore I averaged just under 15 minutes per in order to make sure they did not spoil.

    - in reality - on a standard "Stay-at-home-watch-a-movie" Saturday evening - I might consume 3 IPA/IIPA during the course of the movie. so about 35-40 minutes per. However, I'm not sure that first one has ever lasted 35 minutes.

    Longest was 2 hours on a 12 oz. BP Victory at Sea Coffee Vanilla Imperial Porter.

    I like experiencing the change in aroma/flavor/feel across the temperature spectrum and savoring what I'm drinking, so I consistently take an hour to drink a good beer after pouring straight from the fridge. I suppose that's not much different than letting it sit for 20 minutes before pouring, then drinking it in half an hour.

    Easily over an hour for DFH 120 min and about an hour to savor their World Wide Stout. After having both I can say that the WWS (which was an 11/2009 bottle consumed on 02/2014) was the better of the two for my tastes.

    I regularly take 1-1.5 hours to finish a big BA stout. And that's just a 12oz bottle. I love to take small sips and let it slowly warm to room temperature.

    I do find I drink faster in the summer months however.

    Longest for me is usually an hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours with a high abv/boozy 22oz

    About an hour plus for a world wide stout.
