    I had Great Lakes Blackout Stout for the first time recently. That was real tasty.

    Obsidian Stout, Velvet Merlin, and Survival "7 Grain" Stout are 3 of my regular strength favs.

    I don't think the Biscotti Break meets the criteria here....

    Everybody seems to be going imperial. Personally I'm a big fan of Deschutes Obsidian, Sierra Nevada, and Avery Out of Bounds. All are easy to find and quite tasty

    Imperial wise, I gotta say FIS (even though Founders overall has lost some favor with me) and when in season it is widely available.

    There are local ones and milk stouts I like but figured I would keep it simple

    Samuel Smith's oatmeal stout and their imperial stout. Tis the beer that really got me started the never ending search for the best. Not long ago, did a Blind test of some of my favorites, and the oatmeal came out on top.

    Talk about bending a guy over a barrel... no wonder why I stopped trading.

    Back on topic, ten fidy, yeti, ska brewing steel toe, and bristol's winter warlock all have a place in my fridge.

    Not sure if it is a straight stout but Old Dominion Oak Barrel Stout is one of my favorites. Awesome!
