Flavor combos that shouldn't work but do

[jmcnamara]

Anything? I'm just spit balling here

Piney, resiny and earthy hops?
Hoppy and roasty?
Hoppy and (dare I say) caramel-y?

The dose makes poison, so is there a certain ratio where some weird flavors work well together?

Hoppy and caramel work very well together! To me, most of the combinations you mention work, at least within some range. I tend to think about combinations as balanced (a good Helles), biased (a good pale ale), and poisonous (Belgian IPA).
