Good Stouts To Try To Trade For

Medianoches this year are outstanding

 

Coconut especially. Also really impressed with the 18 batches of Kentuckley, Canuckley and the whole set from transient this year too!

6 hour tour from town hall. local homerism aside, this beer is incredible

 

The Medianoches are going to be tough to trade for most likely...

If you are looking for a great stout that is easy to land, try Community's Barrel-Aged Legion, being released next in the next two weeks in Dallas. While a couple of the past variations have been hit or miss, this year's is back to being aged in bourbon barrels, which should fantastic. Best of all, it will be fairly easy to find for people, albeit for a short time.

If you’re into pastry stouts, Angry Chair should definitely on your list.

 

@cavedave

It looks like you haven’t had Abraxas yet. If not, I would strongly suggest that one. It is one of my favorite non ba stouts. Also, Mexican Cake and Dark Lord would be on my list as well if you haven’t had them either yet.....

 

Dave, one of the best stouts I’ve had this year, was this year’s HF’s Genealogy of Morals. For me it outshined many of the more limited stouts and those with loaded adjuncts. If you haven’t had it, I think you should seek it out and it shouldn’t be too difficult to acquire.

 

I'd seek out a bottle of FOb4. Trading relatively lower than past batches, and it's a pretty damn good bba vanilla stout.

 

Not exactly when this years comes out, but Surly Darkness is quite good, and fairly easy to get here in Minnesota.

 

From the stuff I have tried this year, the best stout was Canuckly. Also really like Jam the Radar and Ground state from BL.

Also recently had an FO b3 and it was amazing. Little harder to trade for than the b4, but definitely worth it.

Moksa stouts have been really good as well, with my favorite being Grasp of Darkness.

 

Some trade pretty high and some are a bit easier. The Non-BA stuff isn’t too hard to get. You should be able to get AC Bottles for Hudson Valley/EQ/Other Half cans. I’d say it’s definitely worth trading for if you like that style of stout. One of my buddies actually trades a bunch of his AC stuff for Hudson valley cans actually.

Seconding FO, they made a lot more this year so the trade value isn’t as high but the quality is still great.

 

Great idea for a thread. I'm excited to follow this one.

The latest Appervation is pretty easily obtainable. And I haven't had anything from Kane, but their stouts are supposed to be excellent and their trade value isn't super high.

 

Trillium's stouts are usually pretty solid if you like something more on the sweet side, and shouldn't be too hard to obtain. If I had to pick one, I'd say try for a Permutation 57. That was my favorite of the year.

Also, harder to get, but Mornin Delight from this year was incredible.
