Wow. Ten FIDY, very exciting! I've enjoyed Dale's Pale and the Old Chubb Scotch Ale from Oskar Blues heartily so far, and the imperial stout may just be my favorite style of beer. I stand with halinc in holding Dragon's Milk as the current title holder, although I've never tried it side by side with its nearest contender, the K.(entucky)B.(ourbon?)S.(tout) from Founders. My Michigan biases are undeniable and also well justified. If you know what I mean, well then, you know what I mean. There was one magical evening of planeshifting with imperial pints of imperial stouts by Brooklyn Brewery at Dr. Dremo's in Arlington, VA. The Dunhill's may have carried the evening though. Or the first time viewing of Easy Rider. Not really sure. wasoxygen, care to weigh in?
