those are some that I've had that are fairly hard to find, but are really good

I tried some skullsplitter a while ago... NOT GOOD! way too sweet for my tastes. very cool bottle though.

yeah definitely the place to branch out.

I would think that you have an excellent oppurtunity to get to know the belgium beers since they appear to have quite a few on tap. Run the gamut with these!

Others I would be tempted to have:

AVERY'S Hog Heaven Barley Style (surprisely un-barley wine like; best balanced barly wine I have ever had.)
MORLAND Hen's Tooth Strong Ale 16.9oz England
one of:
{UNIBROUE Quelque Chose Cherry Ale 750ml Canada
UNIBROUE Terrible 750ml Canada
UNIBROUE Three Philosophers 12 12oz Canada}
one of:
{ST. BERNARDUS Prior 8 Belgium
ST. BERNARDUS Proir 11.2oz Belgium
ST. BERNARDUS Triple 11.2oz Belgium}

yeah i would also wait and see what the barkeep might recommend, especially of the belgiums that you simply won't get a chance to taste elsewhere.

definitely agree on that stuff - i missed the terrible when i scanned the list earlier, had that once in boston, it was the end of the night, but it was mighty fine ale!

I second the nomination for Paulaner heffeweisse.
