I don't know what a Dolby glass is but I found this:
and this:
And I'm not sure either would make me want a beer.

What does FaeFae have to do with a Dolby glass?
Anyway, I picked up two bottles at TJ's a week ago. The first was Botswain's Chocolate Stout ($1.99), which I didn't get a picture of, but was quite yummy if you like that sort of thing. I rarely condone flavored beers, with the exception of coffee and chocolate stouts / porters.
Then I had this one, which was $2.99
Quite interesting. Very slightly hoppier than I was expecting, but it didn't overpower the rich, malty base. It had a sort of woody tone about it, which was surprising as there was no note about the beer having been cask-conditioned.

This thread needs more love, and I need a couple of bottles of Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Or Oberon. Full Disclosure: I hoping to culture their house strain 
I propose we get some tradificating going on here. Is there a USPS flatrate box that will fit a 22oz bomber? Lots of stuff in this thread I cannot get on the left coast, and you east coast weenies need the fresh cascadian hoppy goodness.
Anyone interested?

Here's my analysis of your picks:
Guinness: overrated so much it's now underrated. misunderstood to be a hard-to-drink beer. It's actually a very LIGHT bodied beer (dont confuse color with body) and very easy drinkin'. store in your basement, not the fridge--or at least leave them out 20 minutes before you drink.
Fat tire: pretty much a quintessential micro brew amber. little hops, little bit malty. try not to drink all 6 in one sitting. oh and don't serve it too cold. I would say fridge cold poured into a room temp glass will be good and warm up to the right temp as you drink it.
guinness lager: who knows? there are other more interesting black lagers out there.
