  3. turbotype

    turbotype Savant (1,035) Nov 5, 2013 California

    Founders Breakfast Stout
    Founders Imperial Stout
    Oskar Blues Ten Fidy
    Great Lake Edmund Fitzgerald
    Founders Porter
    Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout
    Firestone-Walker Parobola

    The big one there is Ten Fidy, imo. Some may say BCBS, and the ratings alone back that up. I have passed it over many times in lue of offerings from Founders. I'm sorry, but if if it ain't broke, I don't fix it.

    3 of my favorites right now:

    Maine Beer Company Mean Old Tom
    Boulevard Dark Truth
    Anderson Valley Wild Turkey Bourbon Barrel Stout

    You get something different from each depending on what you're in the mood for. Cheers!

    Kalamazoo stout is really good, in fact ANYTHING dark from Bell's, porter or stout is really good.

    Btw- if you like old Raspy, don't go anywhere near Kalamazoo Stout. It tastes like roasted dirty snatch!

    I'm new to Stouts.
    My first was a Rouge Chocolate Stout. I liked that very much.
    My next was a Stone Russian Imerial Stout. This is my favorite new beer so far this year.
    Then I had a Chocolate Box Dark Oatmeal Stout. Oh My, how could anything that horrible come in a beer shape?
    I have a Class V Stout from Kern River Brewing in the fridge.
    I'm looking forward to opening that Wednesday as my 'New Beer Sunday.'

    If you're talking regular stouts, my favorite right now is Lost Abbey Serpent's stout. Highly recommend it.

    Most similar to Guinness would probably be Youngs Double Chocolate Stout

    If you like Old Rasputin, a lot of imperial Stouts and IRS's will appeal to you. A good guide when looking for new beers is to check out the style here on BA. There is usually a list with the top rated. Some of those should be available in your area. Best of luck, a great style.
