For this poll I would pick Guinness, though Sam Adams Cherry Wheat is very nice too.  One of my favorites is a smokebeer call Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen from Germany.  An amazing smoky taste.  Just delicious.

'Morning Wood'......that's funny if it's referring to what I think it is.

Long story but basically the number 23 allegedly has 'mystical properties' in occult lore and I first read about this in the late 70's  in a Robert Anton Wilson book called Cosmic Trigger.

I rarely drink bottled beer, though some is excellent.

I prefer draught from a handpump - less fizzy.

Just got in from the real ale night at the CAMRA/Liberal Democrat conference in York (member of both) - drank Loch Ness (Loch Ness), Castle Rock (Harvest Pale Ale), Roosters (Liberator) and Imperial (Snow Joke). All absolutely superb - credit to the bar staff at the Rook & Gaskill in York for such fabulous beer. Off to bed - rather pissed.

Just cracked a Dragon's Milk, my go-to for the fastest relief from the stress of the week.  Potent.  Big smile

Well.....I don't overindulge much anymore, being of a ripe age now...but I polished off the 4-pack of the Monk and my arse is feelin' pretty groovyCool   These are pretty strong beers. 

I read some reviews and some guys who are hard core Belgian ale guys weren't all that enthused with it, but I thought it held up well over all 4 bottles.  Never got annoying or filling.  Each one started cold of course, but I noticed subtle flavor changes as the beer warmed in the glass, from crisp and fruity at the start to ending up kinda clove/raisin at the end.  Nice carbonation...plenty of life but not a fizzzz fest. 

I'd buy it again...though caveat emptor...there were reviews from guys who said they def would not.

Ok mates.....I opened up the wallet for the good stuff.....and it did not disappoint one bit.  Gorgeous amber color, lighter body with lots of fruity/spicy notes, and strong.  I'm just finishing my first and already feel warmed up.  No hesitation recommending this one despite the price tag, esp if you like the Belgian ales....
