    Guinness. A distant second would be Old Rasputin or Obsidian

    Would still be nice just to have the opportunity to purchase another bottle of the Chocolate Oak Aged. GD pulled completely out of Kentucky a couple of years ago. Used to see OAY & COAY pretty regularly. Now you have to go across the river to Southern Indiana to find the closest place that carries the Yeti, and even then its hit or miss.

    That is a damn shame. If you ever want to trade for one, let me know, I run into them pretty frequently.

    Nothing to really 'go-to' in terms of stouts around here.
    I guess Outer Darkness, Sam Smiths Oatmeal / Chocolate and Old Raspy... Wouldn't say I pick them up frequently, though.

    My favorite BEER is Sam Smiths Oatmeal Stout; however, a pint of Guinness is my definitely my go-to stout based off of price. Also, Guinness was a gateway for me as far as beer goes.

    FBS by a mile, affordable and available.

    Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout.

    But I'd love to get my hands on some FBS or Speedway

    Love Ten Fidy, but considering price point give me Storm King or Big Bear Black stout

    I've never really thought about having a go-to stout... I guess it would have to be one of the Yeti's. Espresso, Chocolate, or regular-ol' Oak Aged are all consistently delicious beers.

    When I'm looking for an imperial stout, I've found Storm King to be far too hoppy. Now Ten Fidy on the other hand...

    FBS- I try to stock enough to have it year round. If it was available in my area, my go-to would be Deschutes Obsidian Stout.

    Velvet Merlin for a regular stout, Ten Fidy or Old Raspy for imperial

    Ahhhhh yes....thanks for that. 15 minutes away...bam! I haven't ventured down that side of Bethlehem in awhile. Oddly enough I'm often very close around where Broad starts near Hanvover ave and Bada Bings. But I usually turn off and head over to where Jerry's Deli used to be (if you know where I'm talking about) :slight_smile:

    Thanks again

    For me, there is nothing like cracking into a nice, malty, roasty stout on a cold and snowy winter night.

    Mine are:

    Brooklyn black chocolate stout
    Old raspy
    Founders breakfast stout.

    Price and availability are spot on!

    I wish we still got great divide here in CT. Their stouts would be on that list as well.
