    I would stick to something like a stout, porter, barleywine, old ale, etc... but nothing too sweet. For instance, I literally had this beer last night an hour before bed. Worked like a charm.

    If I've already had a few, I prefer lighter abv beers for that "one last beer". Like 6% or less. One last beer closer to 10% or higher doesn't work for me.

    Drinking beer right before bed is amateurs. Cut off the beer a few hours before bed, and go with either a small pour of good booze, or drink water.

    Usually a Youngs Double Chocolate Stout or a Breckenridge Vanilla Porter.

    My night cap is usually tea or water.

    My nightcap beer is whichever one I'm too drunk to finish.

    I usually have one of my crappy homebrews as a nightcap. By then I convince myself that it is good.
