i've never even heard of the stuff myself (old engine oil) but i found this http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/323/875 people seem to agree that it is good.
that is REALLY expensive though! is that a 24 or 30 case? 12 oz?

interesting read..thanks for the link. ha i was actually just up at the local beer store going through their stock and i came across a $3 bottle of the old engine oil! i haven't tried it yet...it says its a great "after dinner beer" so i figured i'd wait till after i ate. right now just sipping on some imperial stout from left hand brewing co. its pretty good. heres some reviews about it from people that are more versed in describing beers haha.

The Anchor Christmas is really good this year..I just picked up 2 sixpacks and I'll probably get more before it's all gone.
Other's I like are Avery's Old Jubilation and Great Divide's Hibernation. I also like, but not as much, Full Sail's Waisail and Pyramid's Snow Cap.
There's actually a Sam Addams I like... I think their Winter Porter......but I don't dig the over-spiced flavor of their Old Fetziwegler...or whatever they call it.
I've seen Brekenridge's Xmas Beer around but haven't tried it. Anyone?

i could continue but im not sure where you live..
alot of your local breweries will make "festive" ales as well and usually you can find them on tap which makes them even better.

no sir i have not. that is brewed in oregon correct? i dont think i have ever tried any of their beer actually. i know i can buy the ipa and the stout here but it hasnt been something i fancy.
yeah i agree on the anchor OSA too, its really good this year.
i am going to do a semi vertical next week sometime, so ill post my thought on that (2002, 2004, 2005, 2006)

I like their Vanilla Porter when I'm in the mood for it, which isn't often but if you like vanilla, it's real good. I also like their Oatmeal Stout and Pale Ale.
I'll try their Christmas Ale soon.
just had lunch at a local place called brewzzi http://www.brewzzi.com/
they make a few of their own beers and serve food. i just had an angus cheese burger..was good but nothing spectacular. they have descriptions of their beers on that website. rather than a blonde or amber lager, we opted for their "premium" seasonal offering of a belgian dubbel. it was pretty good, fairly dark, but you could still see through. a dark red amber i guess. it was expensive though! the one beer almost cost as much as my burger!
in the end, i'd like to try their other beers, and i would...but its a bit pricey for me, so it will be some time till i get back over there.

pere jacques
1800 demolition ale

mmmmmm yeah, you should have fun there!
in the chicago area you may be able to still find some bells beers on the shelves, though i am not 100% sure about that. they also may have some three floyds. if so - check out the alpha klaus christmas porter and behemoth barley wine. of course, 3f dreadnaught is an absolute must buy if you see it
