We've been hosting regular (about monthly) nights of playing Risk and sampling a bunch of examples of a style of beer. Our next one is stouts & RISs. Below is what we have lined up. Anything folks would recommend we add to the line-up? Especially wondering about Rogue's Roost's RIS if anyone has tried it.
Pump House Muddy River Stout
Gahan Sydney Street Stout
Innis & Gunn Bourbon Stout
St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout
Picaroons Timber Hog Stout
Rare Bird Full Steam Stout
Boxing Rock U-889 Russian Imperial Stout
O'Hara's Irish Stout
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Bad Apple Black & Tackle RIS
Stouts

Re: Stouts
I just finished off a bottle of Old Rasputin RIS. Definitely worth considering!

Garrison Martello Stout and Propeller RIS
Nova Prime Taproom
Tap 1: Festa Brew Scotch Ale
Tap 2:
"Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe

Propeller Revolution & Garrison Martello will likely both be added. Hoping Garrison with have the Martello on tap again so we can fill a 1L of each.

Haven't had a chance to try Rouge Roost's RIS unfortunately. They always seem to be out when I try to order one.

Re: Stouts
I believe the Innis and Gunn Stout is casked in irish whisky barrels. I also think it won't be available until spring as it is a seasonal.

Re: Stouts
We got the Christmas box that included two of their stouts and saved them for this night.

Re: Stouts
What ever happened to the St ambroise barrel aged series?
Also, granite might be selling growlers of their stout. Would be an interesting comparison, as it's a bit lighter than most.

Re: Stouts
I *believe* the St Ambroise made it to Premier, however it's showing as out of stock on their site now. http://premierwines.ca/store/product/20 ... ial-Stout/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;mr x wrote:What ever happened to the St ambroise barrel aged series?

(I have two bottles of this year's, but that may have been from a Montreal trip in the fall.)

Their stout is on N2 so she'd be mighty flat on the re-pour from a jugmr x wrote:

Re: Stouts
I'm a huge stout fan and one of my all time favorites is Dieu du Ciel Aphrodisiaque which premier carries. I also had a few Yukon Midnight Sun Espresso Stouts from premier back in Oct. Very tasty.
If Mr.Nash still has his Wrecking RIS on tap that would be a must for any stout party.

Re: Stouts
Nash. Granite sell growlers from the brewery. Not nitro. Counter pressure filled growlers.
