Wynkoop Brewing Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout

Denver's oldest brewpub keeps a stout on the board brewed with 25 pounds of hand-sliced, roasted bull testicles per batch. It started in 2012 as an April Fools video; fans demanded it, so John Hickenlooper's old brewery actually made the thing, and the 'ballsiest beer in the world' never fully left. It drinks like a normal roasty stout with a weird savory umami edge, which is exactly the unsettling part. Order it without telling your date what's in it.

The move: Split a glass at the bar, let them taste and guess the secret ingredient, then break the news. Pure dare-energy first-date fuel.
