Not So Sweet Stouts

I'd go with Porters, ie Founders, Tallgrass, etc.

 

To me Old Rasputin isn't sweet, tastes amazing and is readily available. Buy that.

 

Great Divide's Yeti

 

Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout.

 

Beat me to it. Old Raspy is my go-to for a dry, slightly more boozy stout. Actually putting a bottle into some chili as we speak.

 

Big Bear Black, Bear Republic - For the Win!

Green Flash Double Stout

Old Rasputin

Narwhal and SN Stout

The Abyss

 

Rasputin is, to me, incredibly dry.

 

Victory Storm King isn't sweet at all. Very bitter in my opinion. I don't care for it, but the OP may love it.

 

To balance the sweetness of the beer I had yesterday, Founder''s Breakfast Stout, I'm drinking my go to dry stout: Magic Hat (VT) Heart of Darkness. It doesn't have the same silky mouthfeel that Founder's has but it's definitely drier.

 

Stone RIS is really boozy and it covers well for the sweetness.

 

Blvd Dark Truth

 

Go for an Irish stout. those tend to be less sweet than an american stout.
murphys, guinness

 

Old Rasputin, Yeti, Gonzo, Narwhal, Ten Fiddy, Obsidian.

 

OK so basically the ones I dont like... Well should be easy enough.

Founders imperial stout
Founders breakfast stout
Victory Storm King
Old Rasputin

 

Great Divide Yeti. Has some hop character in addition to maltiness.

 

Recently had the Java Imperial from Santa Fe, which you might get out in Cali. Has more of a bitter coffee profile. Loved it.

 

Stone IRS. Especially when aged a year or two. Or go Espresso IRS which is even less sweet than the OG IRS.

 

^HE LIES^
Ten Fidy is the most syrupy stout/imperial stout I've ever had.

 

Syrupy/thick perhaps, but I thought it was more bitter and molasses (dark sugars) tasting than sweet.
