Both great! I had forgotten all about Old Peculiar.

Played a club the other night that had free beer as a perk. Drank Arrogant Bastard Dark Ale all night. Very good stuff.

I wear out dark beers pretty quickly. No matter how excited I get about a new one, I usually get through about eight out of a case and then start giving the rest away, but the one I can always come back to case-after-case is Ithaca's Gorges smoked porter.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations, I'm off to the store. I'll be sure to let you know what I have acquired.

So this is what I was able to pick out

Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter and Founder Porter, Founder Breakfast Stout is a world class beer but little heavy, Young Chocolate Stout is a great beer too.

Either of the following will do, in order of preference:

Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout

Victory Storm King Imperial Stout

Guinness Stout

Guinness Draught

[king_biscuit]

Of the beers I can easily find around here, I like

Shiner Black Lager

Sierra Nevada Porter or Stout

Abita Turbo Dog

Guinness Stout

For a good cheap beer to have around for get togethers, it's hard to beat Yuengling Black and Tan

I like Rickard's Red.

I tend not to like really dark beers - Guinness, Dunkelbocks, etcetera because they taste too bitter to me.

I hate the taste of coffee so that knocks many of the darkest beers out of contention for me but my favorites are still pretty dark. If I had to pick one, Delirium Nocturnum gets my vote

[Ripper]

Enjoying right now with some football. Impossible to see through with a thick brown head. Tastes like almost pure dark chocolate with some hops and grains mixed in for good measure. A little strong on the nose, but very tasty. Goes down surprisingly smooth for such a big beer. Would recommend for those who like dark beers and chocolate, but don't like the coffee flavors that some have.

Well I have an Avery Belgian Quad in front of me so... that.

Obviously, Guinness is a good one for a lot of us.

The New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins, Colorado, produces a dark ale called 1554. Chocolatey maltey delicious aroma and flavor, higher-than-average alcoholic content, really good stuff. Another CO brew, Lefthand Brewery Milk Stout, is pretty good too. And +1 to Samuel Smith's Old Tadcaster Oatmeal Stout.

Looking for a scotch ale that will knock you off your horse? Try Oskar Blues Brewery (Longmont, Colorado) Scottish Ale Old Chub.

I wish Hoegaarden would do a dark.
