What is Your Favorite Commercial Stout?

[ultravista]

What is your favor commercial stout, Russian, imperial, or oatmeal and do you have a clone recipe for it?

Beamish dry Irish stout a few years ago on tap. I haven't seen it since.

Bells Expedition and North Coast Old Rasputin are at the top for me.

 

[ultravista]

I had the North Coast Old Rasputin at the Yard House in Las Vegas over the weekend. It was painfully hard to consume. I like stouts but this was way over the top.

 

[Beezy]

Old Rasputan lives up to the hype. My favorite is Voodoo More Cowbell Imperial Oatmeal Stout. Maybe one day I can clone it.

Beamish dry Irish stout a few years ago on tap. I haven't seen it since.

I used to live practically across the street from the brewery in Cork. On friday's I'd stop by for a few pints with the guys from the brewery in the taproom. Lots of fond memories of that place.

It's too bad Heineken bought them out and discontinued all Beamish sales outside of Europe. It was a great beer. Good thing I got the real recipe...

I like both Samuel Smith's stouts, the Oatmeal and the Imperial. Also, Stockyard makes a really unheralded one, IMO. No clone recipes though.

Founders breakfast - no contest

 

[teddy4xp]

Left coast voodoo...American style stout

Sent from my Droid using Home Brew Talk

Southern Star Buried Hatchet.

Do you know if they make that in bottles. All I can find is cans, and it tastes like a can. I bet it's pretty good not from a can though.

 

[otis34]

Free State Oatmeal Stout. Located in Lawrence, KS and they just started bottling this year.

 

[lestershy]

Bells Rye Stout, unfortunately no longer in production.

 

[Gduck]

The Oyster Stout at the Porter House in Dublin is something I'd love to have again!

For something I can get regularly, yeah, Left Hand Milk Stout is pretty righteous. Great Divide Imperial Yeti is right up there too.

 

[Piratwolf]

+1 on Old Rasputin for top RIS....Mmmmmmmmmm.

For a sweet stout, I'd go with Terrapin Moo Hoo. Liked it so much I've got a self-designed clone 10 days into fermenting!

For everyday winter drinking, I'd give my edge to Bell's Kalamazoo Stout. For special occasions...wow, there are just so many great ones: Expedition, Oak Aged Yeti, Old Rasputin, BORIS - I don't think I could pick. My RISs are like my children; I love them all equally.

 

[Finnagann]

St Ambroise Oatmeal Stout!

 

[flipfloptan]

Bear republic big bear stout

 

[rexbanner]

Old Rasputin is totally not the direction I'd take a RIS, gimme some special B. I like Victory Storm King.

Founder's Breakfast and Bell's Double Cream are pretty baller.

Puh-leese Must be a subconcious thing. I have the clone kegged right now and it's awesome.

 

[ArizonaDB]

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal stout is very satisfying. I tried a clone of it that turned out to be an colossal disaster. A drinkable beer, but nothing like the original.

Also I like the R&R Oatmeal stout from a local brewery/restaurant here in Flagstaff, AZ called Beaver Street Brewery.

Also, Deschutes' Obsidian Stout will do in a pinch.

Bourbon County, Rasputin, Dragonstooth, Shakespeare.

Young's Double Chocolate Coffee Stout! :cross:
