Trois Pistoles from Unibroue brewery in Quebec. It's a Belgian Strong Dark Ale.
what i like about it is that it has all the flavor and you'd expect from a great Belgian beer but is not too sweet like Belgian quads. i like quads such as St. Bernardus Abt 12, Three Philosphers, and Rochefort 10, but they're always a bit too malty and rich. this beer you can drink lots of because it hides the alcohol very well and goes down smooth. haven't tried it on tap yet but there's a couple bars here that have it on tap so it's on my agenda for sure.
also Unibroue makes my favorite tripel, La Fin Du Monde. highly recommend it.

not expensive at all compared to other Belgian style beers. the 750ml is $7-$8 depending on where u go. i'm really excited to try the draft since last time i tried a belgain beer in bottle then tried it on draft it was like a totally different beer and had so much more flavor, freshness, and refreshingness 
i'm just making up words now.
i'm terrible at describing beers, so here are reviews of Trois Pistoles at Beer Advocate that may be able to describe it better than i can fwiw: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22/30

Think I'm officially taking Sam Adams off my list of "beers that are worth drinking". Much less "beers that are worth paying for."
Their lager is ass and their Octoberfest just came in so I got 12 longnecks and 2 in I was thinking "damn I gotta drink 10 more of these or give them away".
I always forget what beers I don't care for.

I mean when I'm not out trying to get drunk via pissbeer in an economical fashion I really don't drink that much. Probably average a beer a night at home. So buying delicious beer for at home drinking is obviously a priority since it's not a huge money leak. There's simply no room for me to be wasting time drinking ****ty Sam Adams beer. But I keep forgetting. I see it at the store and I'm like "Huh, Boston, beer,.... that's gotta taste good."
"...a unique IPA brewed with a select blend of hops from top German, English, and American growing regions all located close to the 48th latitude within the “hop belt” of the Northern Hemisphere..."It's amazing how select hops from three different countries can be blended together to taste like eleven ounces of the strongest unsweetened grapefruit juice on the planet with one ounce of apple-cider vinegar thrown in for good measure.

Smuttynose Finestkind IPA
Picked this up on a whim at a pretty empty package store last month, it was mmm mmm good. Only had a few of them, so certainly can't be a favorite beer yet, but I certainly approve.
Don't get the hate on Sam Adams Octoberfest. And I think Yuengling is better than its competition.
