Pours a deep copper red, bready notes from the Victory, just enough bitter form the extra dark crystal. Very drinkable and this just made my rotation to keep on hand!

Redhook Double Black Stout.

1) SWMBO choice, initially a AHS kit, now on fourth with fifth in the brew queue.
2) Not available locally.
3) Still better than every coffee stout/beer out there, and SWMBO has made me try everyone she has found.

My own Harvest Ale.
It's an APA with 20% wheat and 20% rye. Moderately hopped and dry hopped at conventional levels (no NEIPA hops bomb levels) with Cascade.
Kind of a classic west coast APA with wheat and rye.
It is absolutely delicious and is my go-to anytime beer.

I have a feeling that once I get this one down I am GONE! It's my favorite beer right now.

Nothing on-tap currently due to career change and bought and sold homes. I stumbled across a recipe in Beersmith called "Brian's Best Bitter"(long story here) and have almost always had it on tap. Love the taste and MAN is it good. Never knew I was a fan of bitters until I HAD to make this beer. Once I get my pipeline up and going it will always be on-tap.

Alpine Nelson clone

Same here. My motivation for going all grain and taking all aspects of brewing seriously. Ever feel you "nailed it?"

Its changed over the years of course, but in the old days it was my favorite beer

I have come very close, but even my misses tend to be great great beer as well. Always a win to me.
