For a fairly mass produced oatmeal stout, I don't think that you can beat the one that the Alaska Brewing company puts out. They also have a winter ale that is made with spruce tips that is very good as well. I don't think that you can get Alaska Brewing company products other than the West Coast. Shoot me an e-mail at kenneth(dot)mayfield(at)krab(dot)centaf(dot)af(dot)mil. When I get home I will see that you are sent some of Alaska's finest.

Try Southern Tier Imperial Oatmeal Stout its excellent. I belong to a beer club and I recieved this. I have been looking for it through out NYC as well. You will not need to drink 4 pints either, it has a alcohol% of 12.5. Im a huge Guinness fan and a huge stout fan. This is a great beer, now need to find it.!

The Closest Brewer to Me is The Peckerhead Brewing Company

in Douglasville, Ga . . .

The Atlanta Brewing Company offers a Free Tasting every Friday at 5:00pm and Live Music at 5:30pm . . . Their Red Brick Ale is Good. It won a Silver Cup or something like hat . . .

I have a case of Troegs Oatmeal Stout and it's pretty damn good.

I love these liquid breads- have to say Samuel Smith is the best I've had.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Just ordered the book to thumb through and make up my mind if I want to homebrew or not. Gonna try and call different distributors to see if they have any of the ones mentioned here. See if I can try and score a 6-pack of each. Thanks for the info all...Keep em coming if theres more brands or info you guys think i should know

I had a beer called 'Imperial Stout'. Tall white cans, with Olde English script, sold in packs of 4. I believe it was about $12 per 4-pack, and may have included the word 'chocolate' on the can.

Is anybody familiar with an Imperial Stout that fits this description that could help me find the brewery? Every time I search 'Imperial Stout', I receive countless hits on types of Imperial Stout, none of which are familiar.
