    I'm really just breaking into stouts and I want to find some complex varieties. I've tried milk stouts, vanilla stouts, chocolate stouts, and coffee stouts, but I want to find a few with a huge mix of flavors that work well together.

    Basically I'm looking for something that has as many of these all together as possible,

    Oatmeal
    Cream/Milk
    Cinammon
    Chocolate
    Orange Zest
    Coffee
    and maybe some additional fruit, spice, or syrup type flavors.

    Founders Breakfast Stout. It's a Coffee Chocolate Oatmeal stout, and one of the best at that.

    Hunaphus has most of these in it. You need to trade for it though.

    Cheers!

    Lost Abbey Serpent's Stout is one I would categorize as complex.

    Dammit, I clicked on this hoping for a new stout called Most Flavorful Stout.

    I'd say Expedition Stout is my favorite non-barrel aged stout. Very delicious!

    IMO, SC doesn't even belong in the same breath with Huna.

    While I have never had a Hunaphus, we all have opinions, so just tell us your favorite, don't trash mine. :slight_smile:

    Aged world wide stout and aged darklord. WWS at 8 years old was just mind boggling how it would transition in terms of flavors. Each sip was unique. Darklord is super sweet but I found 2011 to have a lot happening

    Haven't had many, but I still remember how good Hoppin Frog's Crusher Oatmeal Imperial stout was. I'm not a stout guy but this was very, very good.
