Rated a 5. Anything else is crazy.

I rated CBS 4.81 and BCBS 4.95. I don't see anything being better. Maybe the '14 Vanilla Rye I'm sitting on.

 

Oddly following a "Base-5" theme, Ten Fidy is the only "5" I've ever had out of 100+ ratings.

 

Cuvee des jacobins. It's a perfect flanders red. You obviously don't understand what a flanders red ale should be if you think otherwise.

 

Ballast point's victory at sea. I gave it a 5 without hesitation. It's a coffee lover's dream!

 

Bourbon Abominable and Ivan the Terrible- Barrel Aged...

 

I have given one 5 so far, Ommegang Abbey Ale.
To me the rating is more of a personal thing and a 5 means that you can't imagine that particular beer could be any better, for you. It doesn't mean there can't be other 5's

 

Dreadnaught. Everything I could ever want in a DIPA.

 

Tripel Karmeliet, the one and only beer I've ever given a perfect score. Such a beautiful beer with so much flavor and complexity.
