Here are just a few my favorite hard to find dark beers; I can't stand the taste of any kind of light or pale beer, if I want to drink **** water I can brew that myself!
I guess my taste in beer is like my taste in coffee-I only drink espresso, can't stand the taste of plain resturant served coffee. I hate to go to around resturants in this freakin town of Fort Wayne In because they don't have the beer selection like I'm use to when I lived in California. So I usually stick with more commonly found dark beers which I don't mind but sometimes I like a change. Here's are a few of the next to impossible to find darks I like: (Tazoo) Dos Perros dark ale; (Sierra Nevada) Ovila Abbey Dubbel; Hopslam; Stone Levitation Ale; Deschutes Hop In The Dark; Full Sall Session Black; O’Fallon Hemp Hop Rye; New Castle Dark; Ohara's Celtic Stout (truly a real old school dark beer); Watney's Dark; [COLOR= rgb(51, 51, 51)]Bellhaven Scottish Ale; Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (hard to find this one but not the Extra Stout??); Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale; Beamish Red.[/COLOR]
The beer I can find at almost any resturant that I really like is Guinness Extra Stout Draught (my favorite commonly found beer); Beck Dark; Killians Irish Red; Murphys Irish Stout; Negra Modelo (my one and only favorite Mexican beer).
This is the list I compiled over the years of drinking dark beer that when I found one I like a made note of it so I could try to get it again. There are others too I liked but failed to make note of them so I can't remember those. I will try other dark beers if I never heard of it just to see if I like it or not. But some of the common found dark like Samuel Adams; New Castle; Heineken, Michelob; DogFish, Anchor Brewing, and other Amercian dark beers I've had I can't stand.
