    Apologies to Left Hand Milk Stout, Avery Uncle Jacob's, Avery Tweak, Founders KBS, Oskar Blues Ten Fidy, Bell's Expedition. Perhaps had I answered on another day one of them would have made the list instead.

    I really like Old Rasputin. Also Yeti (Great Divide)

    Ten Fidy is the best of the Oskar beers.

    If you're allowing 12.7 oz and Russian Imperial Stouts, then Jackie O's Dark Apparition (BA or not)

    Pick any of the three.

    These didn't make my top 3 that I mentioned in the OP but a close 4 and 5 would be BA Blackout and Uncle Jacobs.

    Old Rasputin, Sunday Morning Stout, ten fidy...and victory as sea would be up there if I could ever find it 12oz bottles. Around here all I see are bombers of it

    VaS has to be in my top 5 for a readily available beer; call it an imperial porter all you want, I don't care.

    I'd also give a nod to Yeti by Great Divide or Ten Fidy (Oskar Blues)

    -I'd also mention all of the Beer Geek Breakfast variants by Mikkeller, and Prairie Bomb and it's variants.
