Stout Suggestions

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout is a good one.

 

Narwhal stout from Sierra Nevada, Tiny from Weyerbacher, Expedition from Bells, Old Heathen from Weyerbacher.....too many greats to name....BUT if you are around The Party Source in northern Ky. stop in there and talk to the gurus.....especially Peanut at 8 Ball Brewing and he will guide you in the right direction.

Cheers

 

It's a bit kid friendly in its sweet approach

 

Sierra Nevada Stout is a good entry point. Available, affordable, delicious and an actual stout. Meaning not an imperial stout.
As mentioned above numerous times, and favorites of mine, Old Rasputin and Ten Fidy.
Also anything by Bell's and Founder's in the stout/porter category is going to be good. Also consider looking into Wootstout or 4Beans as they are available now. And, yes, I am aware 4Beans is a porter.

 

Youngs Double Chocolate Stout was the stout that really got me into the style (other than Guinness Draught). I highly recommend it!

 

On top of all the great ones already, can't forget Lion Stout.

 

not sure how most people feel about it but i LOVE Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro. so creamy, its a stout milkshake.

and Green Flash Double Stout is pretty good too, hoppy as well

 

I second Victory's Storm King or Green Flash Double Stout, stouts such as Samuel Smith's may be too subtle to appreciate.

 

You are going to have to wait awhile,But if run across some "Brooklyn Brewery"-"Black Chocolate Stout" later on near Winter or Late Autumn -BUY IT! I still have [2] four packs in my cellar 2014--2015 [I did have 6 four packs]...however the stuff is so beyond Amazing, mere words cannot express just how Delicious and ...well you get the point,lol, [Chocolate,Cherries,Roasted Coffee,Carmel, and so much more] my all time Favorite Stout,cheers my friend

 

Thirsty Dog - Siberian Night
OB - Ten Fidy
Mendocino - Oatmeal Stout
Hopping Frog - many varieties

Should all be available in your area...good luck

 

Sierra Nevada Stout, also Narwhal just got released by Sierra Nevada, North Coast Old Rasputin is available year round, Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout and Anderson Valley Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout are my two favorite go to stouts.

 

i love Victory and frequently enjoy their beers, luckily Hop Devil is on tap locally very often. i need to try Storm King, my go-to store always has it. i just havent pulled the trigger

 

Why stouts?

 

Kalamazoo stout by bells brewing.

 

Old Rasputin, Bell's Expedition & Oskar Ten Fiddy are all awesome.

 

Some somewhat easy to find ones that are great for the style as well as for intros are Sierra Nevada Narwhal, Oskar Blues Ten Fidy, Founders Imperial Stout, North Coast Old Rasputin, and Bells Expedition. Just as others have said.

 

Founders, founders, Bells, founders, ten fidy, evil twin, founders.

 

Deschutes Obsidian Stout. Great stuff and at $8 a sixer, can't be beat!

 

Kalamazoo
Labyrinth
Brooklyn chocolate stout
Voodoo big black
A few of my favorites
