Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale
Pretty sure I've had this before.
Truly bitter. Lots of grapefruit and piney hoppiness. Thanks to the Mikkeller & Weyerbacher brews single-hop brews, I can taste the Simcoe hops in it. Slight roasted malt /chocolate flavor underlying the hops.
I should have bought two bottles.

Russian River Supplication
Mmm. Tasty. Sour beer, aged in oak barrels with cherries added. Apparently it starts out as a brown ale.
Not too tart or over the top. The cherry taste helps balance the sourness. I like it a lot better than the Lindemans Gueze and the Rodenbach.

Russian River Pliney The Elder
Not sure what I was expecting. Definitely lots of hops. Slightly grassy. I wish I could place the hops used in this just from taste. It's not over-powering. Nicely balanced. Good times. Alcohol comes through a little more as it warms up.
Bottled on 9/21/10 and enjoyed on 9/25/10.
Thanks to Alan for the recommendation.
