    Yes, it may be odd that I really like DIPAs but don't like many IPAs. I love the malt balance in DIPAs.

    Top:
    Imperial Stout (the roastier, the better)
    Pilsner (I'd rather drink six Pilsner Urquells than a single mediocre RIS any day of the week)
    Sour Ales (I love tartness, and also always love a good Lambic, while Goses are quickly rising up the ranks for me; too bad the same can't be said for...)

    Bottom:
    Berliner Weisse (not sure why I don't like this style considering I enjoy Goses and other kettle-soured beers, I think it's how the lacto rubs me the wrong way here)
    Malt Likka (needs no explanation, really)
    Amber/Red Ales (with a few exceptions, most are just blah crystal malt bombs)
