Hair of the Dog--Adam 4.93
Rochefort 10--4.9
T Alpine--Exponential Hoppiness 4.88
T Avery--Maharaja 4.88
T Prost--Oktoberfest 4.88

1. Founders CBS
2. Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock
3. Southern Tier Choklat
4. Firestone 15
5. Flanders Fred
6. Founders KBS
7. Parabola
8. New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red
9. Fremont Cowiche Canyon Organic Fresh Hop Ale
10. Dark Lord

I think the reason why Pliny, Surly Wet, Westvleteren 12, Bourbon County Coffee, Darkness, BB4D, Fou' Foune and Sculpin didn't make the cut was because I rated beers higher when I first came on Beer Advocate.

Interesting, according to my reviews:

4. La Terrible
5. Uncle Jacob's
6. G'knight
7. SN Celebration
8. La Fin Du Monde

10. FW Tropic King

I'm not sure I agree with my own ratings, but these are all excellent.

 

I have considered that, but it also reflects how I initially felt about a certain beer at the time as well as the evolution of my palate. For me, its enough to know that a certain beer blew my mind so that I can at least keep a running tab on my preferences. Whether its at a 4.8 or a 4.9 is of no consequence, because either way I'll probably be jumping at the opportunity to try that particular beer again.
