    2 years later, and the previous top 5 are wiped out!! Update below:

    - Heady Topper
    -Alter Ego
    -Breakfast Exorcism
    -Blammo! / Imperial Coffee and Cigarettes
    - Saison Bernice

    - BA Bomb! was so delicious that it has to be here too. I love that beer.

    There are so many more I could list here like CBS, but I only had one lil' pour of that so left it off the list. Cheated and listed 2 Cellarmakers in one. And I have 6 up there, but oh well

    I can't resist lists!!

    1) Aardwolf - Early Bird Special (BA version or non BA version)
    2) Cigar City - Maple Cupcake
    3) Evil Twin - Imperial Doughnut Break
    4) Westbrook - BA Mexican Cake (regular Mexi Cake's not so bad either)
    5) Westbrook - 4th Anniversary (Chocolate Coconut Almond)

    So clearly I just like beers that are way too sweet. But surprisingly have never had a cavity! And sorry for all the parentheses...

    Ten days ago, I rated KBS my #5 but I had a 2017 KBS last night and would move it up to #2 now, chocolate flavor was incredible

    Hmm, difficult question, but i try.

    Not in numerical order.

    BCBS2014.
    Necromancy of Bloody Malts by In Peccatum.
    Datsmaaktnaar meerkoet (Dutch scotch ale) by Bird brewery.
    Stone IPA.

    Gosh, that's a tough one! Thus far, I'd have to say:

    1. Obsidian Stout Nitro - Deschutes
    2. Silurian Stout - Door County
    3. Fantasy Factory - Karben4
    4. Cashmere Hammer Nitro - 3 Sheeps
    5. Uber Joe - 3 Sheeps

    It feels like my local Wisconsin companies continue to dominate all of my "top" lists. I'll be traveling to Detroit, Pittsburgh, et cetera, soon, so, we'll see if anything changes when I sample brews from that region.
    I'm trying my first Zombie Dust in a few hours, too, so, that could be entering the top five soon; Uber Joe is incredible, but, its position isn't inexorable.
