    There's bottles of this in the southern part of NYS closer to Jersey and the city. I have a bottle but haven't gotten a a chance to try it yet.

    Espresso Yeti is amazing!

    But what I really want to know is where you are finding Eclipse for $23?!?!? They're $30+ at every store around here! I finally broke down and bought a bottle of Java just to give it a try and I had store credit at my local store, so it was "free." But $23...crazy!

    Second the Brooklyn Black Chocolate. Most of the RIS s are going to have some coffee aroma and flavor, but there are some other stouts in general that you may like. Rogue Chocolate Stout (the best chocolate based I have had), Young's, Fort Collins Chocolate, Samuel Smiths Chocolate, Breckenridge 72 Imperial Cream Stout, Left Hand Milk Stout, Souther Tier Chokolat. I would probably steer away from Founders Breakfast, although it is balanced wonderfully, still a strong presence

    Here to mention Courage Imperial Russian Stout. The only thing that sucks about that brew is the serving size

    You will not go wrong with any of these: Hoppin' Frog's B.O.R.I.S Black Oatmeal Russian Imperial Stout.
    Cadillac Mountain Stout from Bar Harbor Brewing in Maine or Marshall Zhukov's Russian Imperial Stout from
    Cigar City in Florida. Trust Me!!!!! Any one of these will become your favorite all-time stouts if you find them.

    Bell's Expedition Stout is amazing, but you will need to age it for a year.

    If you ever have the opportunity, try Marshal Zhukov. The best non-barrel aged imperial stout I tasted. I'd move to Florida just for this beer.

    2nd runner up is Ten Fidy which you should easily find in WI.
