    Colorado representing here! Very cool to not only see the collective rankings, but tasting notes as well. Old Chub is grossly overrated IMO too so cool to see I am not the only big fan out there.

    As with all things, explore. But don't second guess Skull Splitter- it's fucking awesome. Personally- and I'm a fan of Old Chub- I think Skull Splitter demolishes it. Not even the same weight class.

    I just got Thirsty Dog Wulver wee heavy, can't wait to try it. Possibly tomarrow, I thought Old Chub was not too bad, but not amazing. Skull Spliter did just as the name implys, gave me a head ache the next day the likes I had never felt before. My skull was split right down the middle. Don't try this at home kids.

    I am trying to put together something similar to this right now. So far I have
    Gravedigger Billy
    Louie's Reserve
    Central Waters BA scotch ale
    BA Scotty karate
    Backwoods Bastard
    Working on a trade to get Wulver and BA big sound. Hoping to trade for some drafty kilt from Monday night brewing. Any other ones I should try and secure? I've been trying to find BA wee heavy from Alesmith but no luck so far.

    Did you mean "underrated?"

    OP thanks for sharing your tasting, very well done. A few others you could add for a second tasting to go with your top three.

    Victory Old Horizontal or barrel aged
    Dogfish Olde School
    Sierra Nevada Bigfoot

    Would love to see how those three stack up.

    Lol yes I most certainly did. I'd blame beer, but I haven't had a drop in over a month so I have no excuse.

    Old Chub is great but I especially liked the Nitro version.
