    Grey Monday. Truly amazing but was just so strong. I think we gave the last few ounces as a shot to someone who didnt know what we were drinking.

    Black Tuesday was definitely one of my slowest sippers and that was even shared between several people. I've never had a problem finishing a BA Avery beer though, including Black Eye or Tweak.

    I can't take any more than 5oz of any Bruery anniversary beers at at a time. Sucre was a chore to get through.

    Full Sail Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout. I like Bourbon Barrel aged beers, they are my weakness. I purchased this been when I was heading out of town on a trip. Don't know if this beer was damaged or what, but I didn't like the flavor, it was more like a tequila aftertaste. I forced down about 14 oz and the rest went in the sink. I believe this is the only beer I have ever poured out.

    Sam Adams Utopias, I wasn't sure I could finish the whole bottle once I opened it. They really should look into 4-packs instead

    Your first sour. Doesn't matter the brewer. Your first sour will just take some time before it starts to click.

    Yep, IIPAs as they warm can be tough to get through. Definitely do not drink a DFH 120 while grilling. I speak from experience!

    I drank a 750 ml of Rodenbach Grand Cru and I had my fill after the first glass. After about 12oz I'm not really enjoying it as much as I could

    Interesteing how many Bruery beers have already been mentioned. Some good, some bad. Oh and, to add one to the good pile, Weyerbacher Riserva was great but even splitting a 750 with my girlfriend took about an hour and a half.

    It was tough to get through a bomber of that myself. I agree about that four packs would be better.

    I typically save the 120s for when I get back from a run to cool off. I tried water, gatorade, vitamin water, but nothing refreshes me like 120-minute IPA!

    Crème Brule, Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, Rogue Bacon Maple, Brasserie Dieu du Ciel Aphrodite, and a host of pumpkin beers that taste like pumpkin pie.
