YOUR Perfect Beer(s)

No man, Maharaja is severely underrated.

 

Goose Island Bourbon County cellar aged 7-8 years
Alesmith Speedway - aged 2+ years
Firestone Parabola - aged 2+ years
Founders KBS - aged 2+ years
Goose Island Cherry Rye - fresh
Dogfish Head 120 minute - aged 2+ years
2008 Schlafly Reserve Imperial Stout
2009 Bruery Black Tuesday

 

You had me at this. Such an under-rated beer. It's Heady's better looking Younger Sister.

 

founders imperial stout (fresh), founders porter, & central city red racer IPA so far for me

 

Only beers I've given a 4.75 or greater...guess that qualifies as perfect?

Younger
Notorius
Citra
Kern 5th Anniv/Winter Ale
Nelson
Black Butte XX
Abyss
Victory at Sea
Elder

YMMV

 

Kbs is pretty close

 

I was waiting for Alpine to show up.

 

Nelson
Pliny
Societe the Butcher
Black Husky Pale Ale
Central Waters BBA Barleywine
pseudoSue
Heady

Those are some of the beers I think are perfect just the way they are.

 

Only one so far... Cantillon Kriek 100% Lambic Bio.

Not just that tart, cherry funkiness you'd expect, there's a much more complex cinnamon nutmeggy backbone that sets it apart from any other lambic (and any other beer) that I've ever tried.

 

Yeah, Salvator seems to have lost a bit of zip off of the old fastball, although it's still a quality brew. Definitely give the Andechs a try if you see it around.

 

I'm glad somebody here shares me extreme devotion to wonders of smoke

 

Lagunitas Sucks
Free State Old Backus Barleywine
Proprietor's BCBS
New Glarus Serendipity / Belgian Red
Surly Abrasive
Toppling Goliath PseudoSue
KBS (with 8 months to a year on it)

(4.9+ is basically a perfect beer to me)

 

I'm gonna get away from what most people are considering perfect and go with more easily had beers:
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier
Busch (I'm not kidding)
Cuvee Renee
Deschutes Fresh Squeezed
Schlafly AIPA

 

Imperial Biscotti Break Bourbon Barrel Aged.

KBS.

BCBCS.

BCBS.

Bell's Black Note Stout.

these are the only ones I rated 5, I have to give honorable mention to Dragons Milk and Devil Over A Barrel.

 

GI BCBS
Lagunitas Sucks
Cricket Hill Small Batch Smoked Rye
FSW Sucaba
The Bruery Smoking Wood Rye Barrel
The Bruery Sucre

Honorable Mention goes to (all of these were damn near perfect, but just weren't as good (imo) as the ones above this line):

Carton Regular Coffee
St. Bernardus ABT 12
Elysian Night Owl
Founders Breakfast
Stone Enjoy By 2.14.14
OB Ten Fidy
Sixpoint Hi-Res
FSW 17th Anniversary
Old Rasputin on Nitro
OB Old Chub on Nitro

And yes, the 2 beers at the bottom only make the list if they're on Nitro.

 

I would have to second PF, Fresh from the tap at DLD '14 (was only a couple days old)= Amazing!

 

Not one five, don't really rate stuff anymore so I suppose I'd have to have a brew on the Hoppy side blows away HT or Abrasive, of a BA Stout that just blows BCBS doors off.

 

Dumb luck. I walked into one of my local mom and pop shops, checked the Weinstephaner selection and low and behold the bottled on date was a mere two weeks previous.

 

I'll have to go with

Cigar City Margarita Gose
Half Acre Galatic Daisy Cutter
3 Floyds Arctic Panzer Wolf
Stone Enjoy By
Cigar City White Oak Jai Alai

 

Tripel Karmeleit
Cuvee De Jacobins
Aventinus
Augustinerbrau
Stone IPA
Foothills Jade
NoDa Hop Dop'n Roll
Smuttynose Shoals Pale Ale
Young's Oatmeal Stout (RIP?)
Cascade Blueberry
Aecht Schlenkerla (take your pick)
