After running through the list of the 50 Beers I’ve reviewed for this fine establishment, I decided it would be cool to have a list of the Top 5 Best and Worst Beers we’ve looked at so far. The worst beers weren’t too hard to figure out since while there were numermous bad beers, there were some that were so bad as to burn them forever into my memory. The best beers were a little harder, since I was trying to balance between what I thought were the five best based on my tastes and the best five based on their merits. Well, my tastes won out in the end so feel free to post your favorite five reviews if you’ve tried the beers. So without further ado, here are my Top 5 Worst and Best Beers So Far:

Top Five Best Beers

#5 – Morlands Hen’s Tooth: Just a really good English Strong Ale with a great taste.

#4 – Kulmbacher Monchshof Schwarzbier: The best Black Lager I’ve ever had.

#3 – Guinness: You just can’t go wrong with the staple of the drinking world.

#2 – Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen: King of the Smokebeers, this was a new experience for me and showed me what a smoke beer truly tastes like. A must try.

#1 – Skullsplitter: The greatest Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy I have ever had and my personal favorite of all the beers I’ve had so far. If you’ve never had Skullsplitter then you really need to try some.

Top Five Worst Beers

#5 – Baltika 2 Svetloe (Lager): Tasted like ginger ale mixed with Bud Light. Absolutely horrid.

#4 – Red Tail Ale: Flat taste, no bite and the aftertaste was like a week old dead bird’s ass.

#3 – Eye of the Hawk: A beer so bad it was responsible for one of Colin’s favorite quotes: “My advice is to avoid this beer like you would the clap, or a Beholder monster, depending on your particular level of social interaction.”

#2 – Dorothy Goodbody’s Our Glass: A classic example that beers that pour with no head are not to be trusted.

#1 – Horny Devil: The winner of the coveted “Worst Beer I’ve Ever Had” award, Horny Devil induced sweating and convulsions upon drinking it tasted so bad. No one should ever be forced to drink something this horrible. One of the few beers where I actually wonder if I really did get a bad bottle. Maybe if Alesmiths send me a fresh bottle to try I could be convinced otherwise but I’ll never voluntarily buy this again.

Well, there it is folks. The best and the worst. Its time for me to go turn in the empties. Should be able to afford a six pack of Schlitz if I bring them to the redemption center.
