    I love it when a stout lets absolutely no light through. You hold it up to the light, and even at the very edges of the glass - nothing but black.

    Got to say I really like that Left Hand Nitro Stout when you first pour it. That's an amazing beer all around.

    1) Anything poured from a beer engine.
    2) A violent saison w/ a big sloppy soapy head.

    I really like Saisons that have big, rocky heads. It's so cool to watch it slowly dissipate away.

    This. I've yet to see a better looking beer than a Duvel poured into a Duvel goblet.

    OOh- that's a beaut! The bock family has such great saturated color, clarity and head retention no matter which one you choose.

    An opqaue black stout or porter with a tight dark khaki head that lasts.

    The beer that changed the world's perspective on what beer can look like, Pilsner Urquell (from my preferred perspective):

    When I give Old Rasputin an aggressive pour into my smaller snifter and it overflows a bit...pretty much my "Money Shot" of beer ****.

    For an outside observer you would be hard pressed to find a better looking beer than a well-made room temperature Tripel.

    A jet black stout with a foamy mocha head. Just makes me want to slurp it up immediately.

    There's also something to be said about a nice, well-carbonated Kolsch on a summer day.

    As far as appearance is concerned, nothing looks better than a porter or stout served in either a snifter or pint glass. I personally LOVE the way Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout looks in my Great Divide snifter! Cheers!

    Although I generally find filtered beers more aesthetically pleasing, there's something about a cloudy Franconian Kellerbier (this is a Mahr's Ungespundetes) with that rocky head of foam, achieved with no added CO2...

    I really love those Belgian IPAs and Belgian Strong Darks with towering rocky heads that leave a fluffy mound in the bottom of the glass. My friend and I got hammered one day and he called that "tactical head."

    I call that a "boner head."

    Also...Any beer that left the glass just completely coated with a fine dense lace is tops in my book.
