I'm a newbie to the beer board here, but another old timer from the Prodigy beer board. I have to agree with John on the Mad Elf. Another one I really like is this year's winter seasonal from Old Dominion - a baltic porter. A very malty porter. I am looking forwaord to trying the three news beers from Dogfish Head being released in early December - Au Courant, Pangea and Festina Lente.
