The best readily available Stout?

Ten Fidy easy

 

Available year round is Old Raspy
Seasonal is either Ten Fidy, or Founders Imperial Stout. I go back and forth between those two and have a hard time picking a favorite. FBS is my favorite drink anytime stout that doesn't get you half blitzed with one glass

 

I saw one above, but I'm surprised that Deschutes Obsidian Stout isn't getting more love on this thread. Amazing beer and cheap as hell

 

So, in other words, the question is what's your favorite year-round stout.

 

Winner.

 

My favorites are, in no particular order:

Stone Russian Imperial
Ten Fidy
Founders Imperial
Sam Smith Organic Chocolate

For those that love coconut, as do I, Dragon's Milk

 

Plead the 5th and Ten Fidy. I know VAS is a porter but it scratches that itch as well as the others.

 

Deschutes Obsidian Stout, and North Coast Old Rasputin.

 

Sticking with the year round theme of the OP, I would say Lion Stout, Dragons Milk, and Left Hand Milk Stout, are all pretty tasty.

 

Ill second Barney Flats, it was the first time I ever had a stout on the lower abv spectrum with a good amount 'mouthfeel' (God I'll never be able to say that word and not laugh at myself).

 

Been said before, but I'll say it again... Yeti and Old Rasputin - always around, always good.

 

Guinness if you cant find it im sure they want you to have access....

these threads are fun but it ALL depends on distro

currently lagunitas imperial stout is the best bomber deal

 

Dark Star for me. Only accessible to those in Seattle area though.

 

Agreed, excellent beer, surprised it does not get more pub., I actually have it in my kegorator right now

 

Founders Breakfast Stout

 

Don't know if it's still made, I believe 2015 is the final year of it but Widmer Brothers raspberry imperial stout is excellent, only available in the 22 Oz though.

 

I have to go with Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout. In this area, the beer supplies were very light unless you wanted the usual offenders, Bud, Miller, Coors. Finally a few of the local liquor stores have started carrying a fair selection.

 

Ten Fidy
FBS
Speedway
Storm King
Sam Smith Oatmeal stout
Expedition

 

Big Bear Black Stout or Storm King for easily available & affordable

 

For me it would be a tie between Picaroons Timber Hog (Fredericton, New Brunswick) and Garrison Martello (Halifax, Nova Scotia). I tend to go for Timber Hog because I can get it extremely fresh but both are my favourite, readily available stouts.
