    This was an integral part of my early craft brew experience as well. Love that stuff.

    Exactly what I was going to say.....St Bernardus ABT 12 is still one of my top choices, although I am really into the stouts lately.....unfortunately can't get Founders over here (but tasted the Breakfast Stout at a BeerFest and loved it).......

    I have been wowed many times but Hill Farmstead Galaxy Imperial Single Hop makes me thank God I was ever born every time I get a chance to drink it. What a crazy good beer. The perfect beer in my book.

    I remember having Chimay Blue and thinking how this beer was the best beer I ever tasted. That was a while ago however and I now have new favorites but man, I just think back to that time and remember that fantastic taste.

    Tough one here - lots of beers that are memorable...but one that really mind fucked me with its deliciousness?
    Probably Parabola - after my first gulp I sat stunned and am now forever searching for bourbon barrels that can compare.

    of late...............Probably Sculpin. Had two week old Sculpin at ballast Point at the end of SD beer week in 2010. Amazing stuff. So brilliant fresh

    Apocypse Cow by 3F's. An amazing Imperial. It's not cheap, but it's seasonal, therefore worth it. I think I'll have another one today.

    Arrogant Bastard and then Sculpin (many years apart). Arrogant Bastard was my first "craft" beer. The first time I had Sculpin it must have been super fresh cause it was amazing and my head almost blew off

    Samuel Smith "Winter Welcome" sometime in the late '80's blew me away.
