Best beer I've brewed

This one lasted about a week. I made the mistake of leaving about 1/4 of a keg at a friend's house after a party on Saturday. By the time I showed up for the 4:00 NFL games on Sunday it was done.

This one absoultely knocked my friends' socks off. Can't go wrong with a Jamil recipe, I suppose. Also the first beer I've kegged, so that got some props as well. Turned out pretty close to style, but with a little more caramel than I would have expected, which really pleased me.
