    Sierra Nevada Stout mixed with a little Avery IPA (for hop aroma), mixed with a little aged port, and then recarbed in my Flavorstation - awesome!

    I tried Dogfish Head Festina Peche (berlinner) and Founders Rubaeus this weekend and it wasn't bad. Little tart, little raspberry.

    Don't mix the KBS with anything.

    Bell's Black Note Stout IS a blend of Bell's Expedition Stout and Bell's Double Cream Stout, that is then barrel aged. I dare anyone to tell me that it isn't a great beer.

    I myself will blend 50/50 Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout with either Snowdrift Vanilla Porter or Breckenridge Vanilla Porter.

    I blend Pumking with Creme Brulee occasionally. Still sweet, but makes a nice variant.

    I have also blended Stone Punishment (which I could not drink by itself) with Jackie O's Oil of Aphrodite with pleasing results. I am sure spicy beer/imperial stout blends are have been successfully completed by several others.

    I did this with a KBS and it was FANTASTIC!! Also was able to get draft breakfast stout and bottled Rubaeus and do same and also TREMENDOUS!! If you have a spare KBS I would highly recommend it...

    I like 60/40, stout/rubaeus. Little less sweet but still awesome fruit flavors coming thru.

    While NOT worth it unless you're in Wisconsin or have easy access to New Glarus, Wisconsin Red mixed with a big stout like Yeti, Stone RIS, or Storm King is terrific.

    While it's pre-blended, Epic does a blend of their Big Bad Baptist and Strange's Cherry Kriek to create Epically Strange. It's pretty great, too.

    Everyone says Young's Double Chocolate and Framboise Lambic, but Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout and Founder's Rubaeus is worth a shot as well.

    I mix Arrogant Bastard and Fat Tire once. I called it a Fat Bastard. I thought it was pretty good

    One of my favorites has always been Left Hand Milk Stout (Nitro) and New Belgium 1554 (50/50 split) - so much creamy chocolate goodness!

    I tried Founder's Devils Dancer with Stone Old Guardian. I liked the mix better than DD by itself, and it was faster than waiting 3 years for it to age.

    To answer the OP from a more proletarian perspective, I find that a can of Founder's All Day (<$20/15 cans) added to almost any better-than-drainpour-mistaken-purchase brew makes me feel better about my poor judgement.
