Fruity Chocolate Stouts

I will look for this today, not sure my store has it but will check. Sounds dang tasty (Bells Cherry).

 

Olde Hickory Lindley Park is a delicious barrel aged raspberry stout but I believe they only get distributed in NC and Sierra Nevada made one called Rain Check that wasn't super fruity but was brewed with ginger and lime. I also know that Founder's is rolling out a blueberry stout soon so keep an eye out for that one.

 

Dragons Milk w/ Raspberries and Lemon.

 

Founder's Big Lushious was very, very sweet. I wouldn't say it was well balanced but I'd revisit it if I could. Boulevard Chocolate Ale with Raspberry was really good. Boulevard Tart Cherry Stout and Southern Tier Choklat Oranj are in my fridge now so I'm glad to see those suggestions. My favorite by far was Deschutes 26th Birthday Reserve, but good luck finding that one! For year round or seasonal stuff nothing really comes to mind other than Mother's Brewing MILF. It had raisins and cocoa nibs in it, aged in like 4 or 5 different barrels, it was mighty tasty!

 

Not sure if this qualifies, but each time I drink a Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout I forget how fruity it is. Lots of dark fruits in that thing.

 

That's a shame. I had a friend tell me she liked it, so I was sad that I never got a bottle in time.

 

I did have a single bottle of it last year. It was pretty good, iirc. I should revisit that one.

 

Not a huge fan of a fruited stout most of the time but I really enjoyed Central Waters BB cherry stout.

 

My friend shared his last Bramble Rye with me for my birthday in March. I was a little intoxicated (read very) but I would easily put it at the top of my beer list.

 

Tough one to get, but if you're in the Chicago area, head to Haymarket when Clare's Thirsty Ale is on tap; probably my favorite berry-flavored stout, ever. It manages to blow you away on the raspberry flavor of the beer, while still balancing it out so as not to be too sweet.

Agreed with @DeweyCheatem-n-Howe that Downfall is a solid choice as well (a little sweet for me, but otherwise excellent), and obviously if GI releases a Bourbon County variant that's got fruit, jump on it (Backyard and Regal were both great).

 

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but I get a relative ton of dark fruit in Great Lakes Blackout Stout. No fruit added, but lots of fig, raisin, etc...

 

If you have access to Canadian beers, I highly recommend Bellwoods Three Minutes to Midnight. It is a cognac barrel aged imperial stout with cherries.

 

sitting on 3 more of these. As the one I had warmed up the flavor really came out. I split this bottle and plan to do the same with the last 3. It was a bit over the top but good.

I like many DFH beers and will try most of them I see.

As for fruity stouts I dont really care for most but really like Bells Cherry. Sour is nice. I also like DarkHorse Blueberry.

Enjoy

 

Olde Hickory Lindley Park is amazing!

 

Brau Bros Rubus Black aint a bad choice. Imperial Porter (pretty close)

 

Not sure if either of these are still made, but:
Bells Cherry Stout
Weyerbacher Raspberry Imperial Stout
