The title: 6 best beers for this fall
Later it goes from the 6 best to...
Here are a few of [Stan] Hieronymus' [author of "Brew Like a Monk" and the editor of Realbeer.com] picks that any true beer lover should have on his radar:
I'm sure Stan has a bigger list with more regionals and it just got edited down by the author. It's gotta be hard for most people to get all of these beers.
Holiday seasonals are not my fave but I do concur with Sierra Nevada: Celebration.

Does Halliburton make a beer?
It's actually Fortune magazine's content.

I've had Affligem's Tripel (and loved it), but nothing else. I'll have to keep an eye out for the Noel.

You weaklings want a real Noel? One word: Scaldis.
Anchor Porter is going to be this winter's commercial brew of choice for me.

Sierra Nevada Celebration is always one of my favorites! This year I will be buying a good supply of it, as well as brewing my clone. Yummy stuff for sure!

Back from the dead thread...
I do agree that the Hibernation Ale is a good one, but I don't sincerely think it's for fall only. I'd actually like a recipe for this one. It's a good light evening beer with a nice ABV. IMHO anyway. Anyone else had this?

You know, this write up:
"Anchor Brewing: Our Special Ale
It's hard to say exactly what you'll be getting from a bottle of this seasonal brew because the recipe changes annually, and the San Francisco brewer keeps its ingredients top secret.
"Some years is has a lot of spruce in it," says Hieronymus. "Sometimes you get notes of cinnamon."
Which means that you may like one year more than another. True beer enthusiasts treat this ale as though it were vintage wine, tucking a few bottles away in a cool, dark cellar to allow flavors to change and ripen over time."
The same can be written about almost any good homebrew...

Care to post that recipe? Or is it posted and I'm an idiot?
edit> I guess they make a 'normal' chocolate stout, and that is the recipe you posted, because your's would not yield a ~9% beer or whatever their Black Chocolate Stout is. I guess I could just up the base malt to get there(ala' Jamil Z)? I wonder if that's what they do?
Even scarier than Halliburton beer, Old Kidney Crasher. Bill Gates buys stake in Mexican brewer
