    Aside from Backyard, Bramble, Regal Rye and Jam the Radar...any other lesser known but just as oh-so-delicious BA fruited stouts out there?

    Lizard of Koz! .... joke ... admittedly, LoK crushed my BA stout chasing dreams.

    Madhouse black and blue, it's a blackberry and blueberry sour stout.

    I forgot, The Bruery recently released Share This O.C. orange-chocolate imperial stout. Sounds great on paper.

    RIS + Rubaeus. Not too expensive, very tasty.
    Dark Horse Tres Blueberry
    Hardywood BA raspberry vanilla stout is good although kinda pricy for what it is

    The only thing that has knocked my socks off in this category is Backyard, Cherry Rye, Regal (to a lesser extent) etc... and those are probably fading fast. I have 1 btl of Backyard left and I can't decide if I should open it or trade for something shall we say, "newer."

    It's draft only at this point, but Haymarket Clare's Thirsty Ale is one of the best that I've ever had.

    Bruery Wineification I-III are obviously slightly different than what you're looking for, but they hit some of the same jammy chocolatey Brookside candy sort of notes.

    If they had made Koz as a raspberry beer instead of blueberry, and given it more barrel time, it could have been phenomenal (in other words, if it had been better it would have sucked less)

    I just had a Backyard the other day and it did not disappoint that berry jam is definitely still there and amazing.
    As for the actual post I'm with eddiehop "just avoid them"

    Does Tart of Darkness qualify? That's a pretty good one, and a shelf beer at that. Kind of expensive though at around $20-22

    I came here just to recommend The Lizard of Koz. De gustibus non est disputandum.

    I'm a fan of Lickinghole creek's bourbon blueberry obsession.
