What's new

Please help with Total Wine and Spirits Beer List

I'm headed to Total Wine and Spirits- a very large store in Jacksonville, FL after work today. I'm going to get several different new beers to broaden my beer palate. Please help me by suggesting some of your favorite. Please know I don't like extremely hoppy beers, but as I said, I'm expanding my list of beers.
So far here's what I'll get- this may give you an example of what I like(I've not tried any of these, so I don't know for sure I'll enjoy, I read up on these and it seems they're up my alley)
Stone Imperial Russion Stout
Youngs Double Chocolate Stout
Full Sail Session Black Premium Dark Lager
Clown Shoes Vampire Slayer
Stone Smoked Porter
Rogue Chocolate Stout
Brooklyn Brown Ale
Smuttynose Old Brown Dog Ale

As you can see I like the thicker, heavier, fuller beers, in the past I've usually enjoyed Newcastle Brown Ale, Sam Adams, Bold City Brewery-Duke's Brown Ale,

I don't usually drink a bunch at one time. But I'd also like suggestions for some lighter beers with good flavor.

Suggestions please? Thanks!
 
I've been craving some Young's for awhile. Might have to find some this evening.

Other suggestions:

Innis &Gunn Irish Whiskey Cask
Terrapin Moo-Hoo Chocolate Stout
Founder's Breakfast Stout (or probably anything made by them that isn't an IPA)
 
Gulden Draak from the Belgians, or Unibroue Maudite.

How about some doppel representation? Weihenstephaner Vitus.
 
Samuel Smith's Imperial stout or Oatmeal stout sound luke they'd be up your alley.
A heavy Scottish ale like Belhaven Wee Heavy, Orkney Skullsplitter, or similar might do the trick too.
 
Brooklyn - Black chocolate stout
Flying Dog - Gonzo (might be too hoppy)
Fullers - 1845 (or some of their vintage or brewers reserve)
Pipeworks - Last kiss
Mikkeler - Beer geek breakfast
Schneider Weisse - Aventinus
St Bernardus - Abt 12

I don't know if all of this are available at your store, as I don't have any knowledge about these beers availability, but if you can get them, I highly reccomend all of them.
 
I might be late to the suggestions list, but you should try and get anything from Cigar City. Not distributed up here in Maryland, but this brewery puts out some amazing stuff.
 
I'm in Florida and have had several different beers from Cigar City. They really do put out a great product. Every beer I've tried has been quite enjoyable. Some I enjoyed more than others, but some really food stuff. Maduro Brown Ale is my favorite.
