    So much love going to so many styles on the forums and especially the IPA, IIPA and Barrel Aged (among others of course). During this time of year, I love a great milk stout. The sweetness (as long as it isn't over the top) and general smoothness is just a great night time beer for me. A few of the higher ABV ones can be great but some of the more traditional alcohol levels make them almost sessionable in today's drinking world. A few of the adjuncts can make them interesting and add twists from the norm as well. I've been lucky enough to have a variety of them over the years but wanted to hear what your favorites are...

    Tioga is a new one for me. It does sound great. Looks like they have a breakfast stout too that sounds pretty sweet haha.

    Good suggestions too with the Stone, Left Hand, Duck Rabbit, and 4 hands which are all favorites of mine. I have a Noir sitting in the fridge I've been waiting to try for a few weeks now.

    3 Floyd's Moloko is the best I've had, but it's only in bombers so I don't drink it as often as I'd like. Door County Silurian Stout is a nice, less expensive 6 pack that's locally available.

    Left Hand
    3 Floyds Moloko
    Breckenridge 72 Imperial
    Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat

    I guess the winner would be Xocoveza by a landslide since it is listed as one, but I don't know that it really drinks like one.

    18th Street makes the best Milk Stouts I have ever had! Between Hunter and all its varients and Devil's Conclave, they have this style nailed down!

    FFF Moloko, and Left Hand Milk Stout are honorable mentions!

    Many of those previously mentioned, and Flying Monkeys Triple Chocolate Manfiesto. It's like drinking an alcoholic Tootsie Roll milkshake.
