    Sumatra Mountain Brown was one of the best beers of 2016, and far as I know was just brewed once because they had way too much coffee sitting around or something, but I really hope they brew that sucker again. Absolutely ridiculous amount of coffee flavor.

    It's a seasonal and should be out in your area now/soon. Delicious as last year!

    Any Founders "Top Beers" list that doesn't include Sumatra and/or KBS is a list that doesn't hold my attention for very long.

    IMHO, of course. I do like your first two, though.

    I have eliminated the barrel aged/specialties and limited my choices to the flagships and seasonals:
    1 - Porter
    2 - Breakfast Stout
    3 - Dirty Bastard
    4 - All Day IPA
    5 - Centennial

    Founders has always been one of my favorite breweries and always will be. My biggest issue is just finding it fresh out here in the west!

    According to Untappd, I've had 120 from Founders. It's nice that the in-laws live in GR and they like to see their grandkids.

    I've had some standout taproom only beers that I would love to try again. Choosing the top 5 is really difficult but here goes in no order:

    Backwoods Bastard
    Black Rye
    Red's Rye
    CBS
    Porter

    It's worth noting that this is a list of my favorite Founders beers, which may or may not be the same as a list of the Founders beers I think are the best. Although those lists would probably be pretty close.

    1) Founders Imperial Stout - one of my favorite imperial stouts, period. I wish it were less pricey.
    2) Founders Breakfast Stout - I buy a case every year.
    3) Backwoods Bastard - wonderful smooth nightcap (if I haven't shot my palate throughout the day with IPAs :flushed:).
    4) KBS - not my favorite BBA imperial stout, but I enjoy it every year.
    5) Centennial - surprising upset, perhaps. It's a great standard IPA, and has one of the best aromas out there.

    Honorable mention:
    Double Trouble
    Founders Porter
