    Founders for me, but since it isn't distributed in California I'll go with Ten Fidy.

    How has nobody said Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout?

    If I feel like going bigger, Yeti or Ten Fidy.

    By straight up, I guess you mean no extra ingredients (coffee, etc.) and not imperial?

    In that case, the answer would be Deschutes Obsidian Stout.

    You beat me to it. Never had Expedition but I enjoy it much more than I do Ten Fidy

    If you want a good example of a basic no-frills American stout: Sierra Nevada Stout.

    Agreed. I've had many of the others mentioned, but Founders RIS is in a class by itselft.

    I would say speedway as well but it has added coffee. Thus, disqualified based on the guidelines set forth by the op. Fine choice though.
