Great selection - especially the Rochefort.Fantastic beer.
I'm not sure about the idea that any stout shouldn't be served cold.It's highly unlikely, for instance, that you'd be served a Youngs Double Chocolate stout in a London pub that wasn't from a fridge, especially in a Youngs pub.
But, of course, it's all a matter of taste. I remember when Guinness launched Guinness Extra Cold in Irish pubs. It was so cold it hurt your sinuses going down and completely destroyed the taste of the stout.It didn't last long.
I like Guinness at room temp. But you're right about Youngs DCS. Although too cold and you can't taste it as I have found.

I Always a few chilled bottles of Augustiner Edelstoff" in the fridge.
Best Bavarian beer from a small brewery.
You gotta try it, when coming to Munich.
After a brief beer hiatus (trying to reduce the waistline) I have broken my self-imposed ban with something I really like - Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout. Pours like engine oil and at 10% it's a winter sipper alright.
6 bottles of Heiniken
1 can of Bulmers
3 bottles of Corona
2 1 litre bottles of Smirnoff Blue
1 1 litre bottle of Gordons Gin
Jack Daniels bottle

Michelob Light on draught and Sweetwater Motorboat. Sweetwater is the second largest microbrewry in the SE based in Atlanta. Their signature craft is caled 420 but I like Motorboat best.
Made a winter-brew run through the mega store this weekend just to try a few out:
Sam Adams Winter
Celebration by Sierra Nevada
Harpoon warmer something...not a fan at all
Full Moon by Blue Moon
Out of those four, sampled side by side of course, my favorites are Sam Adams and Celebration. Harpoon just is too spicey for me and Full Moon doesn't have much distinction to it.
Also picked up some 2 Below from New Belgium which is my favorite overall.

A single bottle of Life and Limb, which is a bit intimidating due to the addition of some ingredients that would never get by a German brewer plus the fact that it costs an arm and a leg. Anyone tried this? I was encouraged by the fact that Sierra Nevada seems to be involved and the recommendation of the beer tender at the Central Market, but I'm waffling now. LOL.
Edit: I'll answer my own question. I should have known that greggwiggins would have tasted this beer first. LOL.
