Frufru beers do not deserve the moniker of Stout. Guinness is stout. If any other "stout like substance" begins to resemble an actual stout, Guinness crushes them. If you have never heard of Beamish, this is why. I do not want my stout to taste like chocolate espresso vanilla tobacco cinnamon. I want my stout to taste like stout.
Milk stout is not stout. Oatmeal stout is not stout. If people want to be "crafty", they have free reign in Porters. Stout needs to be left to the professionals.
