On the topic of stouts - I'm a big fan of Mikkeller's Beer Geek Breakfast, an oatmeal stout, brewed with coffee. Delicious
See: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/13307/28877
I like the Beer Geek Brunch Weasel more for sweeter fruitier roasted coffee flavor, as I found the regular Breakfast coffee flavor a bit over roasted and astringently bitter.
I like Founders Porter more than Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald as it has the nice medium roasted malt flavors that bring on semi sweet chocolate and medium roast coffee without the darkly roasted astringency that the bottle of Edmund Fitzgerald I tried had.
I loved Brunch Weasel, a great coffee stout. Unfortunately the bottom of the bottle splashed black nuggets into my second glass....which was made worse by the whole weasel/kopi-luwak thing.
Tonight I had another one of my New Glarus Black Top oatmeal stouts. It's actually one of my favorite oatmeal stouts, another great beer from NG. Not mind-blowing, but very enjoyable. I'm lucky to have a friend who has relatives in Wisconsin and is also a beer geek.
Yesterday I picked up two Goose Island Lolitas; haven't tried one yet. I'm debating about picking up more since they are just sitting on the shelf (arrived this week), but at $17.50 for a 650ml I'm a little hesitant.
I hear GI's Lolita is decent (and the rest of their Three Sisters line up of wild ales, Madame Rose and Juliet). Haven't really been tempted to go out of my way to acquire them yet since they are pricey for what they are. That being said, I just went way out of my way (and budget) to trade for a bottle of Rare Bourbon County Brand Stout so take my opinions with a grain of salt
