    I had that Xocoveza Stout once and absolutely loved it. Tough to put it on the list having only had it once. Are they going to make more? :slight_smile:

    I'm not personally a trader, but definitely check out the trading threads here. Odds are you can find somebody who can get that to you.

    I've had it once. I'm hoping they brew it again. It's like drinking a bourbon soaked brownie.

    This is a very interesting topic. The way I look at it - I don’t think in any way one’s top 5 of all time is supposed to be synonymous with one’s top 5 today. Hypothetically, everyone has a “Favorites” ranking that exists at all times and that changes perpetually. Your top 5 ranking/rating today is a snapshot of your preference at a single point in time. However, your ‘favorites of all time’ is an average of your rankings or ratings over the time period since you became an advocate. Therefore the rankings represent a weighting for the amount of time a beer was considered highly ranked by you.

    An argument to this theory could be that if you just became introduced to a particular beer, and you think it is the greatest ever, why not rank it #1. However, longevity matters and palates change. You can’t assume you would have liked it 10 years ago, you might not like it 5 years from now.

    My IPA heavy lists

    Top 5 of all time:

    1. Stone Ruination (1.0)

    2. Stone Enjoy By

    3. Sculpin (original)

    4. Victory Dirtwolf

    5. BR Racer 5


    Top 5 Today

    1. Bell’s 2 Hearted

    2. Stone Enjoy By

    3. Smuttynose Finest Kind

    4. FW Union Jack

    5. Victory Dirtwolf
