Just to bring this thread around full circle, that's
what's wrong with most (if not all) the web-based beer
forums. Lots of circle-jerking and sycophantism built
around who can trainspot the biggest, baddest cult beers.

at 3.5 percent abv. JW Lees Mild, on cask. Blew me away.
Outstanding. Full of flavor.
