Okay, I have to admit I haven't read all 14 pages but I find it had to believe no one has mentioned the most ovious.

Hapoon CELTIC Ale.

And it's very good also.

Its the best of Harpoon's seasonals.

Is that an Irish-style red? Can't say I'm much of a fan of those.

It is, so you might not like it. Oh well, I guess that's why they make so many different types.

Got to like the name though.

If I see it on tap somewhere, I may still try it.

I generally like really dark beers, or pales/wheats. Reds, ambers, and browns I generally find too sweet/malty for my taste.

Exception: Mactarnahan's Amber. Very nicely hopped and toasty.

Yep

I don't really care for the Octoberfest beer, or the Winter Warmer, or the summer, so the Celtic Ale is my default favorite.

Really? i kind of like their Octoberfest. I really dislike the Winter Warmer however.

You might like to try the Sam Adams Brick Red than. i believe it's only available on tap and in the Boston area, but again, I like red ales.

Stone's Sublimely Self Righteous Ale.

An excellent beer. I think Stone calls it a black IPA, but it is not as hoppy as I would expect from an IPA.  Not that it detracts from the beer in any way.  It is an excellent beer. I'm not as much of a beer expert as I would like to be(er), but it reminds me a bit of an imperial stout.

Karl Strauss Boardwalk Black Rye

dark and flavorful, but not too heavy.  almost like a pale ale crossed with a porter.  really tasty..

Brooklyn Oktoberfest (bottle)

very very very.... disappointing

I like my oktoberfests to have a lot more flavor and body.

Miner Mishap by Choc.  Never heard of this brewer - they're out of Oklahoma - but the beer is a tasty, malty black lager.  Nothing spectacular but a nice solid beer.

EDIT:

TP for the 7grand.
I bet the Miner Mishap was much more enjoyable than my Oktoberfest.
