lol nastiest beer around. I am actually out of beer right now, and have been drinking lots of red wine.

PBR is actually pretty decent for a cheap brew. At least I think so :p

From memory:
Hoegaarden
Shiner Bock
Shiner Kolsch
New Belgium Sunshine
Blue Moon
Goose Island English Ale
Bass Pale Ale
Hanssens Oude Gueuze
Spaten Optimator
Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark
and some german Weizen Dunkel that I can't remember the name of

Just bought a six of beers I haven't tried and can't remember...

Damn, I have a lot of beer. Most of those are only one or two bottle. I get down to one or two and buy another 6-pack, then I just get a collection....

I usually don't have very many beers around these days. Just a couple of bottles of Blue Moon sitting in there at the moment.

Final Verdict: While the Oaked AB is still a damm good beer, I prefer the Original Arrogant Bastard better. But that seems to be against the opinion of the majority (as evinced by BeerAdvocate)

BTW, if you're interested in the Oaked AB, buy it soon.... the 6-packs are in incredibly short supply. (Stone put this out in regular 6-packs for the first time this year. Otherwise it only came in unweildy 3L bottles).

I officially hate you. Or at least the way you describe beers. I've had several of the ones on your list, I enjoy my beer very much. But when you start talking about the distinctive grapefruit opening, the body and finish I feel you do not understand beer in any way. If you can find the oaked on tap, I recommend going that route.

I currently have
1 lonely bottle of Alaskan Amber
2 22s of Stone 06.06.06 Vertical Epic that have been stored for almost 6 months now (I'm amazed they're still there)

Stone is filling growlers of the IRS at the brewery this weekend, so I might go get some of that. Lately they've been on a kick of double dry hopping their IPAs, and the results are pretty incredible. This month they've got double dry hopped IPA, Ruination AND the 10th Anniversary triple IPA. I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time at the brewery...

Mmmmmmmm......St Bernardus ABT 12. The beer of kings. I used to be able to buy 16oz drafts of that stuff for $5 when I lived in Iowa City. Oh the memories. On draft it has a completely different flavor.

Right now I just have a couple cans of Guinness in there. I just polished of a sixer of Lion Stout which is a great beer out of Sri Lanka of all places.

All I've got is a case of Presidente's.

Well, there's also some fruit flavored girly beer, which my sister bought to drink with her friends.

Stouts in general really unlock their flavors as they warm up a bit...but nothing like Lion Stout does. It is a totally different beer as it gets up around 55-60 degrees. If it's been sitting in the fridge for a while and you drink it as soon as you pour it's pretty "blah". But good lord is it amazing once let it sit a bit.

It's got a very chocolately undertone like one of my other favorite stouts - Mackeson XXX Stout.

Averaging out to a rating of well over 90 (Outstanding). Beat that, or atleast give us some Idea of what's in your beer fridge right now. :p

P.S.: These ratings are from Beer Advocate, which has all the information you would ever want on beer.
Ooooh ... you got some awesome stuff there ...
St Bernardus Abt 12 is my personal favorite.
Sinebrychoff is awesome
Rochefort is awesome
I haven't tried several of the ones you have yet.

I'm not at home now, so I don't know the exact contents, but I've got some St Bernardus Abt 12, Orval, Westmalle Tripel, Chimay Blue, Rogue Chocolate Stout, Rogue ole Crusty, Allagash Tripel, Rogue Dead guy Ale, Ommegang Three Philosophers, Ommegang Hennepin, Brigand, Duvel, Hoegaarden, Sierra Nevada Big Foot Ale, Three Floyds Alpha King Ale, Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout, several different Goose Island varieties, Rogue Shakespeare Stout, Okochim OK Beer (the stuff is true to it's name, it is far from great, it isn't bad, it really is OK), Leffe Blonde, Affligem Triple, Saison Dupont, some bigass 50oz spiced holiday ale that I don't recall the name, and a bunch of other stuff.

I also have 4 bottles of Jadwiga Mead and some Chaucers Mead. (not in the frige)
Jadwiga Mead is phenomenal.

Damm, $5 drafts of St. Bernardus 12? That's dirt cheap. Lucky You

Yeah, I've heard good things about the Lion Beers. Need to try them some day.

I get that emotion a lot from people. I guess Geuzes polarize people a lot. I can certainly see why many people dislike them.
