    I'll also say I love Narwhal, Storm King, GL Blackout Stout and really like Old Rasputin. I also have a bottle of Surly Darkness that I can't wait to try. I expect it to be at or near the top. It's a wonderful thing to have so many great options.

    Currently? (not going to limit myself to non-flavored... but I will stick to those beers classified on BA as RIS to make it easier)
    1. Old Rasputin
    2. Stone Espresso RIS
    3. The Czar
    4. Belgian Style Yeti
    5. Expedition Stout
    That being said, I have a queue of the following well-reknowned RIS' that I've yet to try that will likely change that list: Parabola, Founders Imperial Stout, Nebraska Sexy Betty, Ten FIDY, Narwhal, Stone RIS, and Victory Storm King.

    Seems like a good possibility that Expedition and Belgian Style Yeti will be left by the wayside.

    gshak Savant (1,220) Feb 20, 2011 Texas

    Sticking to the IRS (no adjuncts, BA etc), this would be the PRECISE ordering
    1. Bells Expedition
    2. Marshal Zhukov
    3. Yeti
    4. Ten Fidy
    5. 3-way tie amongst Lost Abbey Serpent's Stout, Avery Mephistopheles, and The Butcher from Societe.
