$9.49 for a single beer? Named Dogfish - the most hated fish in Puget Sound? Holy crap!!! I'm way to frugal for that.
I have 14 leftover Ultra's...

Well it has the same amount of alcohol as 4 bud lights, and the flavor of 40.

I have a 12 of Sam Adams mix of bottles that have been sitting there for 2 months. That, and 6 mo old Bud Select bottles.

I drink red wine now almost daily. Shiraz, Red Zin mainly. Charles Shaw Shiraz, Ravenswood Red Zin. Cheap and tasty. Trader Joes for Chuck, Sams for Ravenswood. 2 bucks cheaper at Sam's on that wine. Hail Sam's!

I read a review that claimed 18% alcohol.
Question: Does high end beer get better with age?
Common domestics generally taste worse as they get older IMO...

Some beers can be cellared and are encouraged to sit for maybe years. Goose Island puts on their website that Bourbon County Stout can be stored away for 5 years.

Hmmm, well the World Wide Stout was very interesting. Wasn't overly strong at all. The initial taste seemed a tiny bit lacking, but almost 2 sets of aftertastes that were pleasant. I'll probably get a few more bottles, but definitely like the Bourbon County better.

Mine's pretty dull right now, just some Lunar Ale, Bully Porter, and Dry Stout all from Blvd. Brewery. I haven't had the time to make a special trip to pick up some better stuff, so I've been at the mercy of what the grocery store carries. Heck, I haven't had time to drink more than 1-2 a week lately, so it's not like a nice beer stock would do much good anyways.

You sound like those people that try to describe the taste of coffee.

"A lively blend of intense, juicy coffee with high lemongrass notes and a deep undercurrent of peaches and plums."

Eh, right now there's just some Presidente in the fridge (Dominican beer... I don't really like it). There might be some Coronas also, but I'm not really a fan of those either.

I need to pick up some more Yuengling. I haven't tried a lot of different beer, but Yuengling is my favorite so far.

Hmm .... I have maybe 20 different single bottles at home, mostly 750ml, and I think like ... a few cheap beers (PBR) .....

Alagash Intelrude
Dogfish Head 120 Min IPA
Dogfish Head 90 Min IPA
New Glarus Door County Belgian Red
Rogue Ole Crustacean
Yeti Imperial Stout
Ommegang Three Philosophers
Ommegang Omegeddon
Some Saison DuPont
Several different bottles of different Goose Islands
Hmm ... not sure what else (at work now) ....

Oooh .... and I have a bottle of Apis Poltorak Jadwiga
http://www.beerpal.com/Apis-Jadwiga-Mead-Beer/11279/
I bought 6 bottles about 2 years ago, and it's the last one left ..... Typically aged 25+ years, it's one of my very favorite drinks, but can be a bit pricey and somewhat hard to locate.

Yeah, except for the fact that nowhere in my description did I even mention specific flavor, because I know very little about flavors.

It's truly sad to see someone who can't appreciate the depths of flavor when it comes to a great example of a type of food or drink. Truly great beers are just as complex as great wines.

Love me some yeti. I bought a bomber of the oak aged and wasn't overly impressed at twice the cost. Maybe I'll get another and cellar it.
