You got me. I studied philosophy for two years as an undergrad. Made me picky on words, as you may well have noticed.
You make a lot of good points, but I still don't like the title of this thread.
FHM magazine ran an article a couple of years ago, some Briton made a trip around the world sampling numerous beers in all continents, writing a short review for each of them, and then compiling a top 5 or top 10 in the end. We'd need at least ten guys who'd done something similar to do a "Best Beer Ever" thread.
What's wrong with "Your favourite beer"?
Alright, alright, you're absolutely right

A MAN"S BEER.
I started drinking this back in college. One night after I had two, I broke into my school's construction site, climbed a 300 foot crane, stole the construction company banner, and took a shit off the top of the crane.
ANother time I had a couple of these, my buddy was rolling. We broke into a hospital to see his g/f after visiting hours were over.
Moral of the story: The 211 turns you into FUCKING SUPERMAN.

Konnrade said: that beer was a disappointment. I like strong ales, but there's just something wrong with that beer, and it's expensive besides.
I drank half of the glass and tried to give the rest away to my friends, who disliked it just as much.
aww, too much hops?

Any of the Deririums are worth it also. 24 ounces.. about 8-9 bucks, but so damn good and strong. I mean 9 bucks for a 24 ouncer that's almost 9% alcohol.. that's basically 4.50 for a beer that's twice as strong as most. A little expensive, but not excessive.

I'm starting to love this beer advocate web site. All the posters try to sound like snobs though. I'm going to register and start leaving ghetto ass comments just "THIS SHIT'LL FUCK YO SHIT UP, NEGRO!"
BA won't let a rating like that stay online for long... though it isn't necessarily apparent on the surface, they have a very active moderator staff. I've been visiting BA for the past four years, am a subscriber, and am even wearing a beeradvocate navy blue t-shirt as I type! It is a great site.
Delerium Noctornum however, is not a beer you'll often find me drinking. While it is a strong beer, I don't find the flavor well balanced with the alcohol. For a strong beer with a smooth, full-body, and well-balanced flavour --- something I could drink all night long --- I would strongly advocate Schneider & Sohn's Aventinus at 8% abv.
I'd even drink the Trader Joe's Vintage Ale (a 9% abv re-label from Canada's Unibroue brewery), or Unibroue's own La Fin Du Monde (9% abv) before hitting the Delerium. The Delerium will do the trick for the alcohol, but the flavor I simply don't care for.
