Is there a real lack of darker beers around in the bottle shops at the moment or have the ones I've been going to just gone to crap?
I resorted to ordering a couple of cubes of Eagle Bay Cacao Stout online from the brewery.

What have you tried? I think it's probably breweries still in Autumn mode. Winter weather arrived early this year. There's still red ales coming out instead of the seasonal stouts we're chasing.

I dunno, I've been looking for anything tbh but I have only tried a few places in Ellenbrook (who normally do have a few to choose from) and around where I work. My local normally has Colonial Porter which has been my go to in the cooler weather the last couple of years but they haven't had any.

If you're around that way perhaps try the Cellarbrations in Ashby

Connolly liquor land have a good range of stouts and ales.

 

[DickDunn]

Innate's Snow Leopard stout is absolutely sensational, highly recommend

I live in Bindoon so I usually only go close to where I'm shopping (or working).
All is good, my stuff from Eagle Bay came today so I'm set for a few weeks.
Was actually fairly quick, I only ordered it on Sunday.

Rocky Ridge 'Rocka Block' stout and Boston Brewery 'The Right' brown ale (not a stout I know but a good 'wintery' beer) are both pretty decent and relatively readily available (at First Choice Liquor and Dan Murphy's respectively). I don't mind Coopers Extra Stout either for something a bit cheaper.

If you want to go all out, looks like Copper & Oak have 100+ stouts in stock right now and will do free delivery if you spend over $100 (you can also do a mixed carton of any 24 beers and they will charge the carton rate per beer). https://www.copperandoak.com.au/sit...e=&item=&userMinPrice=&userMaxPrice=&inStock=

The Boston Brown is one of my favourite beers, always grab a carton when I'm down there or I see it.
Haven't tried the Rocky Ridge, will look out for it

Nice lineup.
I had a Little Bang geezer pleaser when in Adelaide recently, an english style bitter which was pretty tasty.

Fingers crossed.

Smack the floor with a broom handle.

I'm about 4 deep on my Eagle Bay Stout so win or lose I'll be drunk by the end of the game

I've got some serious imperial stouts and Baltic porters waiting for a reason to be opened.

Well.....I would say winning this game is a reason to open some.
I would also say losing this game is a reason to open some.

Hmmm

Time to break out the sludge

The Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout is really good. Just have to. Let it get warm. Enough.

Went outside to cuddle my dog Henry, legit managed to get his tongue into my mouth 3 times, went to brush my teeth, took 10 minutes to get the wax off this:

I see you like easy decision making.
