Best Stout Brewed On Long Island

Alright guys and gals, to piggyback the "best ipa brewed on Long Island" thread I'd like to get your take on the best stout coming out of Long Island and why. I won't generalize the type of stout as far as R.I.S, American Double, Milk, Oatmeal etc., it can be any type of stout(no porters). It must be brewed by one of Long Island's breweries (I know your home brew stout is by far the best) but can also be a collaboration (example: Great South Bay Pro-am series) and does not have to be bottled. If you can give some insight on where to pick it up and when it's generally available that would be awesome.

I've gone through and listed most of the stouts I could think of and what's archived here on Beer Advocate from our Long Island Breweries. If you can think of any stout offerings from places like St. James brewing, Square Head, Ghost Cat Brewing, Brewers Collective etc. please do so. If you would like to chime in on additional beers not listed or ones from brewpubs like John Harvards, Black forest or Brick House Brewery please feel free to do so.

I agree @dar482... I feel SH RIS recieves a lot of acclaim due it's low bottle count. Lots of other stouts above recieve higher ratings but ratings is not the be all end all. Would love to know if some BA's had a tasting with multiple L.I. stouts as I feel SH is not far and above better than some of the stouts listed above.

I have not had SH but of the ones I have drank, I would rank them like so...

Apple Brandy Dirty Deeds
Famous Last Words
Dirty Deeds
McLaughlin's Folly
Morticia
Snozberry Stout
Black Friday
Boris The Spider
MooChelle
Guardsman
Long Island Potato Stout
Starboard Oatmeal Stout

The others that I've tried while delicious and drinkable have been average or slightly above.

 

When I was at Barrier a few weeks ago I specifically asked about Morticia. He said when they sampled it, it was way hoppier than they wanted so they are waiting for the hops to mellow. Iirc, he said late fall/winter. I know last year's Morticia was released in April/May.
