    In your opinion, whats the best 12ish ounce stout or BA stout (other than KBBS) or even porter? I love all the big stouts and BA stouts but sometimes I just want to sit down and drink a badass stout without sharing it with a couple people but I always end up feeling like I'm forcing down the last 10 ounces.

    My top 3 would be Damon, BBPT5, and Hipster.

    I'm usually good with a nice 12oz of Victory Storm King.

    Black Note has come in 12oz bottles before. It feels like I'm cheating with that answer, but there you go. As for porters, Founders has always been my go to.

    I know it's cool and all to rip on KBS, but it's gotta be up there. Along with BCBS, BN, Hipster, SMS and the Aphrodite variants.

    All of my suggestions have come up already, but I'd say BBPt5, BCBS, KBS, and Peche Mortel.

    The question is really broad, there are a ton of good answers. But, Old Rasputin was the first that popped into my mind.
