Must have/try stouts

I actually liked the Terrapin Wake-n-Bake better than FBS. Also I am gonna give another vote to Peche Mortel and Bell's 30th.

 

Second the Belhaven. Had their Scottish Oat Stout last week and was very impressed.

 

Many good stouts already noted
Specific to NYC we have some good ones here bottled and canned other than just Brooklyn Brewery.

My personal favorites:

Void of Light - Foreign Export Style - Gun Hill
Void of Light BA - Gun Hill
Double Negative - Grimm
Double Negative BA - Grimm

 

North Coast's Old Rasputin RIS, also their BA version
Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
Bell's Expedition Stout
Bell's Kalamazoo Stout
Alesmith's Speedway Stout
Modern Times Black House Stout
Modern Times Monster's Park (seasonal)
Great Lakes Blackout Stout (I need this again)
Mikkeller's Brunch Weasel
FW Parabola
Deschutes Abyss
Prairie's Bomb!

Terrapin Wake N' Bake
Wiseacre Gotta Get Up to Get Down
Oskar Blue Ten Fidy
North Coast Old Rasputin
Sierra Nevada Narwhal
Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout

 

You are in Connecticut? Make a trip out to Bristol and have a pint of Toadstool Stout at Friefly Follow. It is one of their best beers.

 

Any of the Double Shot varients from Treehouse. The coffee infused is constantly changing. They are all really good.

 

So many great ones mentioned. Wanna give a mention to Ninkasi Oatis, which has replaced Obsidian as my go to stout. So smooth and balanced, and the Vanilla version is stellar too.
Also, to me DFH Indian Brown ale drinks like a stout to me, and a good one at that.

 

Doubt these are available via distro there, but if you are a trader, Pugachev's Cobra and Berserker are both awesome BA stouts that shouldn't be too tough to procure.

 

Selin's Grove Brewing Company's Shade Mountain Oatmeal Stout is my favorite beer in the world, but you have to come to the pub.

But...Lancaster Brewing Co. Milk Stout or Double Chocolate Milk Stout. Or Young's Double Chocolate Stout if you've got $55-60 for a case.

 

Dogfish Indian Brown is a great one that defies rigid categorization.
