    Moloko is a summer release. It usually lands in August (last year it was August 16th).

    My wife was always a stout hater until she tried Sam Smith Organic Choco stout and her new faves are Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro and Lancaster Brewing Company Milk Stout.

    New Holland's Dragon Milk is one of the sweetest I've tasted. Very smooth and nice vanilla notes. It is so good that even my fiancé likes it.

    Just saw a whole case of Breakfast Stout sitting on a shelf in suburban Philly.

    Full Tilt's Berger cookie stout is a winner in my books. I absolutely love Left Hand also and totally recommend their Milk Stout. So many choices! Samuel Smith's Oatmeal is great as well. Around autumn its a delicacy around my work!

    Judging by the ones you have said you really liked already, You should try Lion Stout if you can find it.
    Also New Hollands Dragons Milk is a year round option and mellows very well as it ages.

    I'm personally a huge fan of the Breckenridge '72 Imperial chocolate stout.

    St
    Stone Russian Imperial Stout and Harviestoun engineers reserve old engine oil (technically a porter, but in the profile you're looking for I think).

    All of Sam Smith's Stouts are very mild, IMO - none of those bitter roasted coffee tastes found in American stouts. Stone's and Mission's RIS beers are also very thick and creamy.

    Looking forward to trying this one out in CO next month at Odell's. If not on tap, at least getting a fresh 4 from somewhere in the area.

    It is really good, however I believe it is a spring seasonal unfortunately.

    Sounds like he wants a Milk Stout or Oatmeal Stout, go to the best bottle shop in your area and talk to the owner or one of his knowledgeable employees and see what he's got.

    Another vote for ST Choklat (I haven't tried Mokha yet) or Ten Fidy. A lot of highly rated stouts are barrel-aged, which I don't usually like as much (yeah, I know -- blasphemy), and another stout I would definitely recommend is Stoudt's Fat Dog Imperial Oatmeal Stout -- even though it's Imperial, it's not really high ABV, and I found it very easy to drink (although I have only had it on draft so far, which helps).
