    Sober? 19.99 for a bottle of Allagash Curieux. Drunk? On my 24th birthday I bought a bomber of Brooklyn Black Ops at a bar for $32. I regret that one immensely.

    At a bar: $72 for the 1999 Drie Fonteinen recently. A year and a half ago, I bought a 2005 Lou Pepe Framboise for $70.

    To go: $50 for Cable Car Kriek a month or two ago.

    Per ounce? Definitely Allagash FV13, $14 for a ~12oz bottle. Would buy it again.

    ~$15-16 each for 375ml bottes - Lost Abbey Red Poppy (that I traded, never tasted it before), and Cantillon Kriek and Gueuze.

    $25 for a Firestone Walker 15...worth every penny. I balked slightly at the checkout counter but after taking one sip I knew it was money well spent

    Toronado SF's 26th anniversary. They had maybe 10 to go and fortunately, I was 6th in line. They were also selling T20, but for $100. I didn't pick that up because I've heard it's passed its prime and that's a shitload of money.

    Trappist Provisions a few weeks ago had some of the 1999 Drie Fonteinen to go for $80. I've been trying to cut back on big money purchases lately, so I passed.

    Back in 07 or so, when Dark Lord was all the rage on this site and I hadn't yet had it, I plunked down a hundred bucks for an 06 bottle. That was my first Dark Lord and, despite having it 3 times since then, I never paid for one ever again.

    Your not missing much with the red poppy. I was disappointed.
    it was the bruerys oud tart from last year which I still have not cracked open. I think I got swindled at 26 bucks.. cough cough.

    I'm cheap, by far the most expensive was $12 for a 750 of Westmalle Trappist Dubbel.
