Thanks Zithal!!!!!
6 Coffee Porter, my first taste was disappointing and I thought great, a flop! But it must have been a bad bottle, the rest has been fantastic, a nice flavourfull dark beer.
The exact same thing happen to me this weekend. The first bottle was meh....then from 2-12.........oh my gawd!! So good!
I had to comment on my worst beer....I know it says best but I had to.
Steelback Pilsner, they have two kinds Copperhead and Wild Bruce County. I like a good Czech style Pilsner and am brewing one next weekend so I thought I'd grab 6 each of the above two kinds just to taste and get in the mood....it was 12 too many.
Worst beer, hands down, that I have ever tasted...I almost, almost poured it out.

When I lived in Kingston I loved Dragon's Breath Pale ale by the Kingston Brew Pub, for those who love spicey food a great complement to it is Cheetah beer.
I am a canadian girl all the way.. But if you want to know about beer ask Zithal he is the beer consignior or however you spell that.....:) all the power to ya......:)
1-Innes & Gunn Oak Whisky barrel aged original - Holy crap it was fun to discover this beer.
Scottish oak aged beer with a tonne of character. Vanilla and caramel notes with the slight taste of Whisky. effing brilliant.
2 - Ola Dubh 40 year old Whisky barrel - Would be first but it costs $18 per bottle and you can't get it anymore this year.
3 - Mill Street coffee porter.
4 - Duggans IPA or the Stout....toss up. local brewery in downtown toronto. Just opened and truly kick ass beers. Not named, just numbered. - Duggan's Brewery - Ontario (including Toronto) - Chowhound good reviews start at Dec 9 when it opened.
5 - reserved for Guinness as you can get it anywhere and is my back up beer (dont' tell the Irish I said that)
Zithal, hope you are still around to provide some insight on your latest finds. Will definitely have to hunt down some Stone brewery products.

I bought 6 of the KLB Premium Pale Ale. Very nice. Hoppy. Nice copper/amber colour. Definitely recommend for those who like hoppy ale.
Also got 12 Sleeman IPA - pure crap. Why do I buy Sleeman's?
Also 6 County Durham Signature Ale - a very nice smooth ale, more sweet than hoppy.
