    Marshall Zhukov's is just a touch thicker than Imperial Biscotti Break.

    Did anyone mention Ten Fidy? :rolling_eyes: Another good one is Bell's Expedition Stout.

    Your local market has a finite number of RISs. Eat them all.

    BCBS is very viscous IMO, it's the thick and obviously very rich.

    Another vote for the front runner Marshal Zhukov, easilly the thickest stout I've ever had.
    Alesmith Speedway, Founders Imperial,BCBS,Ten Fidy are all good calls as well

    I have been told Zhukov's final gravity is 1.050. For those of you that don't homebrew, 1.030 would be considered a thick stout. 1.050 would be considered a good starting gravity of a pale ale.

    I haven't seen Perennial's Abraxas mentioned yet, so I'll put that one out there. I really enjoyed it, but the 750 ml bottle was almost too much for me. I thought that it was a lot thicker than FIS, Green Flash Double Stout and some others mentioned here.

    Great Divide Yeti...go ahead, eat it with chop sticks.

    I don't rate a hell of a lot of beers, but I can say that Yeti is the only beer that received all 5's from me. It is a truly superb beer - all the variants are excellant, but I like the regular version best.

    I know it's called a "black ale" on the bottle, but Uinta Brewing's Labyrinth Black Ale is one imperial stout that fits the bill in my opinion...

    Had a BORIS not too long ago and almost needed a spoon it was so thick. Have a DORIS still to drink but I'm afraid of it.

    That is insane, but makes sense after tasting it. I split a bottle three ways and it felt like eating a meal.

    Brooklyn Black Ops is another I had lately that was big and thick. And why does this tread sound like it belongs on a **** forum more then a beer form?

    Lots of proper inclusions already mentioned. Just wanted to add Avery The Czar to that list, as per my experience last night.

    See the avatar, my personal beer love affair, Marshal Zhukov!

    Everyone wants Hunahpu and for good reason, but many forget Zhukov is the base beer for it and probably easier to get in trade from us Florida folks, lol.
