Ohhh yes!
Sorry for the late entry, but here goes, a list of some great ones from recently.
Pretty much anything by the Danish Mikkeller is fantastic, and this is one of the best new ones I tasted last year (not only from Mikkeller but by any brewery, highly recommend to check this out if you have a chance) -
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/mikkeller-santas-little-helper-2009/112988/These two by the same brewery are really light, good with food, but SURPRISINLY tasty considering the low alcohol:

http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=110815 (the latter reminds me a bit of Brooklyn Lager, which I really like too, but only a bit since this is more intensely hoppy)
And another one from Mikkeller, this also is a good 'session beer', not too strong, not too light:

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/mikkeller-beer-geek-breakfast/53853/, and this is worth a taste too, definitely:
http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=85835This one, by Goose Island, is INTENSE. Wow. The sweetness might be too much, or not, depends... a really interesting beer anyhow:
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/goose-island-bourbon-county-stout/8909/I need to get more by Dogfish Head, this is my favorite so far, a very personal double IPA, love it:
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/dogfish-head-90-minute-imperial-ipa/10569/The usual suspects, Rochefort 8 and 10, always good to have around, both my all-time favorites:
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/rochefort-trappistes-10/2360/This one is very much like a Trappist, but is actually not:
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/st-bernardus-abt-12/2530/ - FANTASTIC, I recommend highly for friends of the Rochefort's, Westvleteren's and such...
And other Belgian ones, which I never get tired of, like the Hercule Stout, just fantastic:
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/ellezelloise-hercule-stout/6701/ and Orval (just make sure it's at least a year from bottling)
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/orval/835/I've been getting more and more to some really sour Gueuzes, Belgian as well, like
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/3-fonteinen-oude-geuze/11168/ and
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/cantillon-gueuze-classic-organic-bio/6925/Cantillon has other great lambics too. If you are like me and prefer your lambic very sour, then you need to check this out:
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/cantillon-kriek/6013/, almost as good as their Gueuze.
Back to Denmark. This is one of my all-time favorites as well, a very elegant, well-balanced double IPA:
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/norrebro-north-bridge-extreme/38980/Scottish BrewDog has some I like, some I don't, and this is one of their better ones I think, at least if you're into strong IPA's:
http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=76701And last but not least, two HUGE beers from the US. This by Sierra Nevada is supposed to be a Barley Wine, but I think it's definitely more like a double IPA. HIGHLY recommended for those who like IPAs! Double that!
http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=371 And this one is a bit weird pehaps, but I really love it (some say it tastes like it's gone bad or something.. but they are WRONG),
http://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=1653That's all for now. Thanks for all those tips above, Taylor and others! I'll have to try and find some!
