Need some stout suggestions!

Sierra Nevada's Narwhal is an excellent, easily obtainable stout. Not the same as KBS but very tasty nonetheless. Maybe some BAs local to you can give more options.

 

Not sure if you guys get Stone often, but Stone's Russian Imperial Stout is great. I would also suggest Bell's Expedition Stout (It's by far my favorite). Alesmith Speedway is also awesome as well as Modern Times Blackhouse and Monsters' Park.

These are just a few suggestions.

 

Ten FIDY from Oskar Blues is a good one.

 

According to SeekABrew you get limited Coronado distribution. If you see their Stupid Stout you may want to try one. I was pleasantly surprised.

If you get Clown Shoes (seekabrew says limited) then try Crasher in the Rye. Very nice beer. Many of their BA stouts are very good.

Lagunitas recently released a Westified coffee stout that I thought was pretty good too.

 

New Holland Dragon's Milk is produced year round and available in NC. I believe this one could definitely rival KBS and BCBS in terms of hype if only it were more expensive and difficult to get.

 

Some of my faves:

Ten Fidy
Yeti
Plead the 5th
Breakfast Stout

 

...and founders imperial stout

 

A lot of good suggestions already. Event Horizon from Olde Hickory down your way is PHENOMENAL!

 

while is isnt technically a stout, Victory at sea is a great beer and its in six packs now

 

Typically I would not recommend any Lagunitas products for the fact (and I know I'll get sh*t for this) but they are a one trick pony. They brew average beer for hipsters that the hype overwhelms tiny brains into thinking it's great...

That being said get as many bottles of the Westified Imperial Coffee Barrel aged you can get your hands on!

The PRICE:FLAVOR ratio is excellent

 

We have a keg of the Crasher that has me salivating......

 

1 - Palo Santo Marron - Dogfish Head->Technically an 'Imperial Brown Ale,' but whatever. It is black, 12%ABV and aged on Palo Santo wood...this is hands down, the best year-round offering of a wood aged beer
2 - Tiny - Weyerbacher->It is their Imperial Stout fermented with Belgian yeast and available year-round (and recently released in 4-Packs)
3 - Victory At Sea - Ballast Point->Technically a porter, but being tha it is brewed with coffee and vanilla beans, it is every bit as decadent as SMS and KBS (and 10% ABV too!)
4 - Imperial Stout (or) Cappuccino Stout - Lagunitas->The former is Year-Round and the latter is Seasonal
5 - Double Stout - Green Flash

 

I'd have to agree with these as well. Very solid shelf beers.

 

All of them...try every stout

 

Bell's Kalamazoo and Expedition. Excellent, excellent single and double stouts, respectively.

 

Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout, just really well balanced and you can go from their whether you want a more Belgian-yeasty style stout or a more peaty, smoky one.

 

How about this?

 

Olde Hickory ba stuff is still on the floor, Victory At Sea in avIlable too.

 

The year-round thing is throwing me off, but these are around every year...
