Dieu du Ciel (From Montreal...check out Aphrodisiaque, Route des Epices, and Equinoxe du Printemps)
I love Aphrodisiaque I had a bottle of it Tuesday Night, Péché Mortel from the same brewery is really good too. I live in Eastern Ontario so it is a pretty quick trip to Quebec to find a store that carries their beers. Which reminds me I think I might head over there on Friday to pick up some things. I have a cousin who lives like 20 minutes from their microbrewery too, I think I need to go visit him soon.
Dogfish Head World Wide Stout... :? No, not just questionable...TERRIBLE. Seriously, it tasted like Purell. The single worst beer I have ever had. Drank about a third and dumped the rest. Ew.
They are one hit and miss brewery. I refuse to buy a four/six-pack of anything I haven't already vetted. I admire the attempts, but can't afford to try it all at the price. Still think it'd be a cool place to visit though.
I haven't had the Stout, but Dogfish is a consistently great brewery IMO.
I don't recall ever having anything from them I didn't like.
Part of my thing is that I don't enjoy IPAs, which I know is their forte. So my judgment doesn't take those into account. I enjoy the Punkin' Ale quite a bit, and like the Raison D'etre. But sometimes they seem to be trying too hard to make things happen. I can tolerate beers like the ImmortAle, but I prefer more than just tolerating a beer that cost a (relative) ass-load of money.
I am sort of the same way. I love trying new beers but I am totally not a fan of the super hoppy American IPA's. I have sort of gotten to the point where even though there are a ton of these beers that get great ratings and reviews, but I know they are not really my cup of tea so I usually look for something else, since I can usually find other really good stuff I like.
Thread revival. Getting ready to crack open a Palo Santo Marron from Dogfish Head. Depending on how I feel, I may end up cracking open a bomber of Oak Aged Yeti from Great Divide as well. Good times.
Here's a shot of a few bombers I picked up this week:
Oh, and here's a link to my BA profile. Feel free to add me to your buddy list.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Picked up a case of a Founders Variety Pack yesterday at the local distributor. Includes a 4 pack of their Red Rye, Double Trouble, Centennial IPA, Porter, Dirty Bastard, and their Pale Ale. All for $45... thought it was a very reasonable price.
To make room for some of that in my fridge, I finally cracked open a bomber of Arrogant Bastard that I had in my fridge... wasn't really impressed. But I'm not a huge hop head, so that may be why.

That sounds like a nice mixed case.
I may pick up the Sierra Nevada Glissade again. Got it last year and it was an awesome spring bock.

Small world - I could do a lot of damage to my wallet in that place! Yea, the Edmund Fitzgerald and Founder's Porter, are probably my top two porters that I've tried so far.

Finally tried Pliny the Elder last night. Very good!! Other recent favs include:
Oskar Blues Ten-Fiddy
Founders Porter
Founders Breakfast Stout
Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout
Samuel Smith Imperial Stout
Just getting into these craft beers, and enjoying the experience!!
Samuel Smith makes killer beers. some of my favorites.
I know what you mean, the only way you can get the Sam Smith Oatmeal stout in Ontario is as part of the christmas 3 pack that comes with a glass. Even though I already have a sam smith glass for the last few years I have been very tempted to buy another one just to get another bottle of oatmeal stout.

Bell's and Founders out of western Michigan are both great breweries. Pearl Street Grill & Brewery in Buffalo makes some delicious beers, but they don't bottle them for sale except for the growlers you can take home.
This thread reminded me that it's getting closer to Oberon season. Now it's going to haunt my dreams... fresh from the tap with an orange slice...
I live in beer paradise in central Oregon, with 7 microbreweries in my town of 75,000. Deschutes Brewery has a beer called Dissident (for a PJ tie-in). I'm blessed and I know it!

it's very dark, a porter/stout colur, but it has the lager flavor.
not the best beer ever, but certantly not bad
i like their taddy porter.
had pliny the elder once, it was good but I feel it was overrated when I tried it. Founders breakfast stout is one of the best beers ever made
