What's your favorite Beer?

Oof… Now thàt's hard to answer... Imagine Dulle Teve with a bit more complexity... I always compare it as calvados w/ candy sugar... It's blond, slightly sweet, 12%; in short it's just BRILLIANT...
From RateBeer (random review):
Pours golden with whiteish head. The head stays. Aroma is sweet, fruits, apricot, some alcohol, apples. Flavor is sweet, fruits, apples, apricot, malt, some booze. Finish has some dry bitterness.

Grabbed a six pack of this today at the store, very nice.
And also snagged one of these, the normal BBH was fantastic last year. On chocolate it's even better / smoother.
Some barrel aged beers really slap you in the face (in the mouth?) with flavor but not this beer. I find that to be a very, very good thing.

Out for omikase last night. These were new to me. Both really good.
-
A couple of recent ones.
Not bad, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to get it again. Less root beer-ish than I expected, also less porter-ish.
Now this one is good. I really like Cascade beers.

Just did the Massachusetts beer pilgrimage. Treehouse, then some BBQ, liquor store, then out to Boston for Trillium and Night Shift, then Moes Tavern to cap off the night with a BCBS and an Alla gash Triple

@Broark my boss lives in Chi. I'll ask him Monday. He's pretty deep into the craft beer thing.

Nice work…whats the other Treehouse you managed to get? I see triple shot...I want to make it up there one day
Damn, nice haul!
Anyone familiar with the Chicago beer scene?
It's looking like I'm going to be up there in a couple weeks, so if there's anything I shouldn't miss out on let me know!I just went in November and I would recommend finding a good tap house. When I went we went to Local Option, they always have a great selection and its a really unique bar. Brewery wise, Half Acre and Revolution are solid. We also made the trip down to Three Floyds which I recommend, it's only 45 minutes from the city (if you have a car). Also, might be worth going to Goose Island Clyborn (original location). They put bourbon county on fair amount from what I heard. And bottle shop, Beer Temple. Hope that helps a bit
