I normally drink Mexican beer or IPA's. With the weather getting colder I want to drink something a little darker. I also want something that I could drink several in a night and not get full or drunk after one beer. I live in Fort Worth so it needs to be something I can get in Texas.

Stout. Not sure you want to drink a 6pack of them.



Santa Fe Java Stout is pretty readily available and very good. Drink a good bit of them when it cools off.

Find a good coffee stout that you enjoy.
Harpoon Flannel Fall (not sure if this is available nationwide though)
Sierra Nevada Celebration

Sorry Paul but I wish I could downvote you more than once for this one. Sam Adams is terrible.

Two that I like that fit your criteria:

Deep Ellum Oak Cliff Coffee Ale
Rahr Iron Joe

Head over to Taps and Caps on Camp Bowie @ Ridglea. ~50 beers on tap. Youcan try them all. Can drink there, or growlers to go. Also a great selection of cans and bottles.

They carry high end beers and one-offs. Big fan. Also, reasonably priced.

Good list.

I hope Tin Roof continues their trend and improves Parade Ground Porter this year.

Sierra Nevada Narwhal.

Excellent bang for your buck as it’s $11.99 for a 6 pack of a top-tier 10% ABV Stout.

Thanks for the suggestions. At lunch I went to Central Market and got a 6-pack of the Sierra Nevada Celebration. I also made a variety pack with Breakfast Stout, Christmas Ale, Backwoods Bastard, Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan, and a couple others. I already have the bourbon covered.

I love all the people suggesting imperial stouts when he specifically asked for beers he could drink several of in a night without getting full or drunk.

Serious answer below:

Great Raft Reasonably Corrupt - black lager with a nice roastiness but super easy to drink

Deschutes Black Butte Porter - classic porter and only 5.2%

Big Sky Moose Drool - American brown ale that's another easy drinker

If you want some bigger beers, others have listed some above.
