My goal is to one day have all of these big whales, but cbs and KBBS are the two most wanted that I'll probably die never having so, anybody who has had them, are they all they are hyped up to be?!

I started drinking about two summers ago, but I've tried to sample as much as I can. In no particular order:
- Mikkeller's Beer Geek Brunch
- Mikkeller's Beer Geek Weasel
- Boulevard's X Imperial Stout Coffee Ale (2015)
- Mother's Winter Grind
- Bell's Expedition Stout
- 4 Hand's Chocolate Milk Stout
- Loveland Aleworks's Raspberry Sour Ale
- New Belgium's La Folie
- Bell's Java Stout
- Lakefront Brewery's Fuel Cafe

Winter Grind is my go-to when it's in production. You can get it pretty cheap, and yet it still has wonderful flavor, aroma, head, mouth feel, etc..

 

Zombie Dust
Dreadnaught
Jai Alai
Modus Hoperandi
Sculpin (only when fresh on tap, otherwise not in top 100)
Double Citra
Maple Bacon Coffee Porter
Harbinger Hazelnut Stout (J Wakefield)
Funk Metal
Peche Mortel

Currently I'm not in a stout phase, otherwise I would list the usual suspects. I'm also a big fan of sours, but not so much that they would take more than 1 spot. IPA/PA's are king with me for the last couple of years.

 

1-Dark Horse Bourbon Barrel Plead the Fifth
2-Lost Abbey Track #10
3-Evil Twin Pappy Even More Jesus
4-Hill Farmstead Arthur
5-Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout
6-Sierra Nevada BA Narwhal
7-Firestone Walker Stickee Monkee
8-Tired Hands SaisonHands (now that it's foudered)
9-Wicked Weed Bombadile
10-Half Acre Daisy Cutter

I stayed away from the hops (for the most part) because they vary so much for me...Daisy Cutter was one of the first hoppy beers I had and I have always loved it, so that's why it makes the cut lol

 

I'd say off the top of my head, and in no particular order :

1. Bells Black Note
2. Founders Imperial Stout
3. Barrel Aged B.O.R.I.S
4. Zombie Dust
5. Drednaught IPA
6. Founders Harvest Ale
7. World Wide Stout
8. FBS
9. Hopslam
10. Plead the 5th

 

Ballast Point Sculpin
Alesmith Speedway Stout
Coop F5
Green Flash Palate Wrecker
Prairie Pirate Bomb
Firestone Walker Double Jack
Stone Fyodors Classic
Firestone Walker Parabola
Stone Enjoy By

In no order:

-BA Narwhal
-KBS
-CBS
-Rochefort 10
-BCBS
-Prairie Bomb!
-Abita Barrel Aged Rye Pale Ale (A 9% monster 'pale')
