Room temperature is ~70 degrees F. Cellar temperature, to me, means it has a slight chill. Room temperature is too conducive to bacteria growth and skunkiness.

That's good to know. Cellar temperature does seem to be ideal. I never really did like beer too cold.

It depends from beer to beer. For example most of the Trapisten beers are best at 12-18°C while most pils beers like Stella or Bud are better at a lower temperature.

I do have one motto: if you have to drink a beer ice and ice cold to be able to enjoy it, than that beer isn't worth much.

I suppose a beer's flavor can be enjoyed much in the same way as table wine.

Funny you guys are talking about cellar temperature. The beer in my initial post suggested just that. I think it was 45-50 degrees F (our metric system friends can translate that since I'm far too lazy).
