    Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale. It was the beer that made me check ratings before I buy. I don't drain pour but I do let sit in my fridge until some unsuspecting guest grabs it.

    7 month old Gubna found it on a shelf in NJ. Not good. Not good at all.

    Delirium Noel. I thought it would be kinda like tremens just a bit stronger, nope couldnt get through more than 3 sips before draining it. also sierra nevada hoptimum, I bought a 4 pack for 4 dollars and after one sip I remembered why I didnt like it the first time around a year earlier, just a terrible beer from a great brewery.

    I can't claim that one as my father-in-law made the purchase, but I back you whole-heartedly. I took the obligitory 3 drinks, then said he could do whatever he wanted with the rest of my bottle because I was done. I have no criticism of that beer that could be conveyed as constructive.

    I have two 2012 Black Ops and just tried a 2011. I was so disappointed in the 2011 and heard its better aged. Way over priced, ambitious, and lacking. If you are a fan of BA Stouts steer clear.

    Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout, Dark Horse Crooked Tree IPA, Dark Horse Sapient Trip, And Samuel Smith's Nut Brown. I didn't care for any of the St.Bernardus beers either. the best thing I got in the four-pack was the Snifter that came with it.

    Brought three cases of Innis and Gunn at a local fire sale. Awful, awful, awful (IMHO).

    I think banana and coffee together is one of the best. Might be worth a try.

    JW Lee Lagavulin barrel, at a buck an ounce it was a drain pour. Lagavulin deserves better.

    Lion Imperial Pilsner. Got their export stout prior and liked it, wondered how they did with a big pilsner.

    Total waste of money. Zero taste, at all.

    Practically every beer I've ever bought where I didn't check the date on the bottle/can beforehand.
