I love Duck Rabbit Milk Stout. I had Sierra Nevada Stout once and it was good...tried to find it at Kroger when I lived in Tennessee but they replaced it with the summer seasonal.
Right now I got 2 Dale's Pale Ales left. Best beer in a can I've had so far.

I saw the Sierra Nevada stout in FL but haven't seen it here yet. Hopefully it'll be readily available by the time the weather cools off a tad.
Let the joyous celebrations of Hell begin!

Found some Sam Adams Honey B's Lavender Ale...it's a limited edition homebrew that will never be available again so I picked up the 6 pack. It's one of my favorite beers and my friend who doesn't like beer loves it so I'm gonna give him one.
Also came with 2 Friar Hop Ales (Belgian IPA) and 2 Blackened Hops (Black Ale) but I haven't tried those yet.

Last night I picked up a sixer of Shipyard Pumpkinhead. I've been wanting to try a pumpkin brew for some time, but usually only think of it right around mid-November and by that time it's sold out for the season.
This stuff was pretty pleasant. the pumpkin flavor was nice and not overpowering and didn't taste chemically or anything like some fruity beers can. Gave the ale a kind of "warm" flavor. Worth trying if you are cool with flavored beer.
Still all about that Wychwood Scarecrow. So light, fresh and clean tasting.

Wychwood used to make a great beer called Fiddler's Elbow, but it doesn't seem to be in their lineup anymore. Hobgoblin is the standard at our house, although my wife is the beer connoisseur and is more into Stone & Rogue breweries now.

I'm weird; I'm only ever really in the mood for a darker, autumn or winter-type beer, and it lasts the year round. I chug stout and black ale in July.

Merlin's Ale (Scotland)
I am one to buy a lot of microbrews by the lot when I save enough money. I have tried a lot of quality brews from around the globe but Merlin's Ale is one that I must pick up every time I see. Godly.

Actually, Giant at Toco carries Fiddler's Elbow. I have one in the fridge at home. I'll pop it tonight and check it out. There's also a glorified Hobgoblin that I saw on the website. Don't recall the name right now.
Any suggested flavors of S&R? I don't think I've tried any of their products. Thanks for the tip.

Oh good, I didn't see Fiddler's on their website and thought it was discontinued. I think the one you were talking about is called King Hobgoblin. I would like to try that one.
Anything by Stone is good. I like their regular IPA, Levitation Ale, and Ruination IPA, and the Arrogant Bastard (there is an Oak-aged version too but $$$).
Rogue is hard to find here, but everything that I have tried from them is good. The Brutal IPA , Dead Guy Ale, and the Yellow Snow IPA are all excellent. Their Chocolate Stout comes highly recommended if you can find it.
There is a microbrew, Wild Heaven, in Avondale that makes a delicious beer called Invocation. It is a Belgian-inspired ale that is one of the best beers that I have ever tasted. It is pricey, but the Growler store in Avondale has it on tap. They make a brown ale called Ode to Mercy that is pretty freakin' good too.

Spaten-Optimator. Awesome dark brown color, strong doublebock flavor with kind of a clove bit if I remember. (may be owned by inbev though...)
Dogfishhead- 90 and 60 min Pale ale. Both great, 90 a little better.
Shiner- Double bock
Terrapin- RPA
Killians - Irish red. Best cheap beer.

I wanna try Ruination the next time I mix a 6 pack.
I like Rogue but their Chocolate Stout wasn't that great to me. I paid $7 for a 22oz too.
I wanna try Invocation too...they have it at Total Wine so I'll try it eventually.

I've only seen it at Total Wine and even they don't carry much often. I would double check at Green's though, that place is surprisingly varied in taste.

Just tried the Victory Golden Monkey. A pretty stout belgian style thats 9.5 perrcent. Really good, after just one you definitely feel "beered." Light golden color with modest head, but nice and spicy.
huhuh... head...
