4. Sam Smith's Chocolate Stout
5. Prairie Bomb!

1. BCBCS
2. Founders Backwoods Bastard
3. Surly Surlyfest
4. Lagunitas Lil Sumpin Sumpin
5. Schell's Hefeweizen

 

Tough to pick a top 5

1. BA Abraxas
2. '10 Vanilla BCS
3. Heady Topper
4. Rare
5. King Henry

Honorable Mention: Double Sunshine, Abner, Julius, Apple Brandy Hunahpu, Prop '14

 

Other Half Mosaic

Bell's Two Hearted

 

It's hard to choose just a 5 beers, but I can try.
Black Albert, struise
Founders KBS,
Heady topper,
Westvetleren 12
Dirtwolf.

But I can't jump on the saison du tracteur or Prairie Bomb. Also, the Rasputin BA from the molen, Seizon brett by logsdon, or saison Dupont when it's in shaPe.
