Best Stouts....and go!

Oskars Blues Ten Fidy
Sierra Nevada Narwhal
Founders Imperial
As a hop head I like hoppier stouts and I'll make Black and Tans with above stouts and with their lineups DIPA or a Sixpoint Resin

 

Bells Double Cream Stout and Prarie Bomb are both awesome....

 

1. Ten Fidy
2. SmuttyNose Baltic Porter (yeah its technically a Baltic, but its great)
3. Narwhal
4. Undead Party Crasher
5. Fade to Black

 

Boulevard Imperial Stout X: Aztec Chocolate

 

Are those moles chasin' that clown?

 

A lot of these have already been mentioned, but my favorites are:
Non-BA - Founders breakfast stout, Founders imperial stout, OB Ten Fidy, Alesmith speedway stout, wichita brewing company Jamaican me crazy.

BA - BCBS, New Holland dragons milk (especially the chocolate/coffee variant).

Honorable mention - SN stout (it's not one I pick up often but it is a terrific stout, and hoppier than some), lagunitas imperial stout, Ballast Point VaS (not technically a stout, but darn close and darn delicious).

 

Wake n' bake by Terrapin , and big black bear, Bear Republic

 

FIS
Ten Fiddy

BA-
Pre 15 BC
BA Darkness
BA Yeti

 

I'll add Eclipse Elijah Craig 20 White Wax. Singly the best BA Stout I've ever had, not a close second. This pairs with the CW BA I mentioned previously, if I could get that all the time I'd be happy, under the radar.

 

NC Old Rasputin
Deschutes Obsidian
Alesmith Speedway
Founders Imperial Stout
FW Parabola

 

Bells Kalamazoo
Bells Java
Founders breakfast
Ballast Point commodore
Deschutes Obsidian-best value

 

Marble Oatmeal Stout
Equinox Mr. Delicious Oatmeal Stout
Left Hand Milk Stout
Founders Breakfast Stout

Epic Big Bad Baptist
Firestone Walker Parabola
Goose Island Bourbon County Stout
Avery (not barrel aged) Tweak

 

Second North Coast's Old Rasputin and Left Hand Milk Stout.

Die Schwarze Kuh by Gusswerk is also really REALLY good, I actually made a sriracha-stout barbecue sauce with this one after drinking half of it.
Pax Bräu's Licorice Oatmeal Stout - reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally goddamn smooth. The licorice in it wasn't too strong so I appreciated that.

And for your BA needs: Lervig's 3 Bean Stout on Bourbon Barrels. Smoothest 13% I ever had.

 

Non BA - Expedition Stout (by far the BEST nonBA stout to age), Ten Fidy, Speedway Stout

BA - parabola, black note, kbs, the abyss, cbs, bcbs, and a bunch of others - for BA stouts id almost go with listing bad ones over good ones because in my opinion a ba stout should by definition be awesome. There's definitely a few watery and/or contaminated ba stouts that could be thrown out there that would save someone the 20 bucks for a wasted bomber.

 

honestly....this was good but Xocoveza holiday was much better

 

I'm pretty familiar with the IPA/DIPA scene and some of the best offerings available, specifically in the New England area (Tree House hops, Trillium, Alchemist, Hill Farmstead, Other Half, NEBCO, etc.) but my question is what are some of the best stouts around? Where it's BA/Non BA, Imperial, American, milk/coffee, etc....

Stouts are quickly becoming my favorite style of all - especially this time of year but I feel I haven't experienced many "great ones".

I understand this is a very broad question but which would you highly recommend?

Tree House's Double Shot?
Ten Fidy?
Founders Breakfast stout?
Alesmith Speedway?

 

Yes.

 

I recommend all three of those!

 

Dragonstooth Oatmeal Stout
Lagunitas Imperial Stout

Both lovely and simple.

 

Everything you mentioned (except I haven't had the Treehouse one). Speedway Stout is one of my favorite coffee beers ever.

Prairie's Bomb
Founder's Imperial Stout
Bell's Expedition Stout
Lagunitas' Imperial Stout (probably the best price of the bunch, and it's a great beer)
Mikkeller's Beer Geek Brunch, Breakfast, and Weasel (that's three different beers)
Victory's Java Cask
Great Divide's Yeti - Plenty of variants on this one as well
