    ...one that isn't relentlessly hyped. Maybe one that most people, even on BA, aren't that aware of, or one that is criminally underrated. A beer that is amazingly good but is a real "diamond in the rough". I'm in Texas, a state with plenty of those, like the Saint Arnold Elissa IPA, 512 Pecan Porter and Southern Star Buried Hatchet Stout, to name just a few, IMHO. Thanks.

    Also, sorry for the above typo.

    Idle Hands Barrel Aged Triplication. Buffalo trace barrel aged triple that sits for four months. The beer is still really fresh with just a hint of booze. Really does justice to the base beer and the barrel aging process

    Horseheads Domination Ale. (Barrel Barleywine...impressive tasting and can hold it's own.)

    I've said it before... Stone 15th Anniversary. Marketed as a Black IPA year and half ago. Now drinks like a hoppy stout. Very good. If you still have one sitting around, give it a try.

    Perennial Artisan Ales Abraxas. I'm a bit new to BA, but I've seen very little about this beer. I live in St. Louis and got to have this regularly over a few months. It impresses me every time.

    Clown Shoes Choc Sombrero? They have a real solid lineup, their stouts are real bangers.

    Absolutely agree about the milk stout. I think I had to do the beer equivalent of a double take after trying it. It was a stout that was legitimately refreshing.
