At the moment I'm drinking Samson Cerny. Very tasty dark lager from the Czech republic.

As for my favorite beer, that would be Nøgne Ø's "Dark Horizon 1st Edition". Best beer from my favorite brewery - Norwegian by the way. Extremely strong at 16%, and almost liquorish. However the wonderful tastes of chocolate, malts and coffee suppress the taste of alcohol very well. It's rather sweet too. Pours completely black. The only bad thing about it, is that it's almost impossible to get after the first batch sold out as soon as it hit the stores - despite the price of $22 for a bottle of 0.5l. Luckily I managed to buy four of them, of which three are still unopened :)

If you ever come buy a bottle, I highly suggest you try it. It's really one of the best beers in the world and certainly the best beer I've ever tasted. It shares some resemblance with the Imperial Stout from the same brewery - which probably comes 2nd on my list of Great Beers, so if you like that one, you'll love Dark Horizon.

I had this "Samichlaus" Austrian beer that was supposed to be one of the "best beers in the world". It tasted like I was drinking out of a week-old oozing corpse of a vehicularly-processed possum. Holy sweet lord.

That said, Guinness and other dark beers are not somethign I enjoy. I like my coffee in the morning, random meals during the day, and mollasses at night, not all at once in a bottle, thank you very much.

I don't know how an opinion can be fact. Like, "Green is one of the best colors in the world". Not knocking you or anything, I just think it's retarded marketting BS.

Amstel's my favourite but they're not common in pubs here in Aberdeen. I prefer cider to beer when im hanging out with friends. Spanish cider in particular.

You do make a point - it all comes down to ones personal preference. I'm also forced to admit, that probably nine out of ten people on the streets would dislike it. Probably including you too. However for people, such as I, who love dark beers, this is something I'd strongly recommend.

As for marketing, I don't think there really was any. They didn't need any. It's a small brewery, ran by some five guys during on their free time. They don't have resources for that. Even their website was shut down by the Norwegian government: http://www.nogne-o.no/

As for being one of the best beers in the world, I was mostly referring to this list here. No, it isn't a God spoken word or the universal truth, but it is to beers what imdb is to movies :)

I gather I won't find one of these at the local Alko ?
Sounds very interesting though, but the price tag is ridiculous...for a beer.

In all likelyhood it was mishandled and who knows how old it was.

Beer shipped from Europe, especially really exotic microbrews, are subject to molesetation during transport by either cooking during shipping in some tractor-trailer through AZ three years back or simple mishandling because nobody knows wtf it is.

I had the same experience six hours ago at Holy Jim Falls, en route to the Great Divide ...

still cool from transport, but plain skunky.
