    The 666 made me want to worship Satan and repeatedly bang my head against the wall. It was that freaking good.

    Technically it's a porter but pretty close to a stout in body - Harviestoun Ola Dubh, I've tried the 12 and the 16 and will try the 18 soon. They are amazing

    CBS is the best I've ever had on tap. The bottle, not so much. BCBS is good but needs age to be great.

    On tap:
    CBS
    BB Plead
    KBS
    Bottle:
    KBS
    BB Plead
    Silva

    From what I've tried:

    The Abyss- 2010 and 2012
    BA Speedway Stout
    Parabola- 2012

    No particular order, all are great.

    Apple Brandy Huna was THE best stout I've ever had and one of top 5 beers I've had.

    Bourbon Vanilla DL, '09 Black Tuesday, CBS were all great also!

    I would trade my non-existent future children to try either or both of these. I love their Cherry Stout and Expedition. Toss it in a barrel and it probably moves up a few notches. Mmmmm.

    Uncle Jacob's, hands down. I'd like to try a BA Tweek though...

    For me it's gotta be Parabola. That beer is damn near perfect.

    This is like trying to decide the hottest supermodel!!
    I love them all and they all make me hard (the beers).
    I would say my top 4 in no order are BCBS, KBS, Dark Lord and CBS

    My girl got that one, and I got the De Muerte, just so we could try two different ones. Kinda wishing I'd gone with another vanilla though.....though I've not tried either, so who knows?

    I just don't see how there can possibly be a better beer than Jester King Whiskey Rodeo. Not hating on the northern breweries, just showing love to Texas' best barrel aged imperial stout.

    Some more votes for Epic's Big Bad Baptist, Firestone Walker's Parabola, Avery's Uncle Jacob's.

    Still awaiting my first BCBS.

    I'd trade my access to IPAs/DIPAs brewed in California for your access to Struise and de Molen barrel-aged treats in a heartbeat.
