Y'all mentioned a bunch of my favorites here: a. Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale - for those who love big American style hops. Grapefruity. b. Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout - my favorite stout. like someone mentioned earlier, not too sweet. c. Sierra Nevada Bigfoot- my achilles heel. monstrous hops, huge maltiness and just enough carbonation to separate it from the rest of the barleywines offered in the USA. I buy a case and save 'em for the spring & summer when I treat them like Valiums. Not mentioned yet but worth noting: Sam Adams Doppel Bock - in my opinion the best beer they make. Goes perfectly with Unique Splits Extra Salt Pretzels. Also, Victory's Old Horizontal Barleywine is always a good one. Happy Holidays...
