Craft Beer Brew Humor

So I run a liquor store which speciallizes in craft beer. #1 store in the state, to be more specific. I live and breath beer. If I'm not selling beers or ordering beers for the store, I'm buying beers, reading about beers, brewing beers, out with beer reps drinking beers. You get it.
Over the past few years I've been getting more and more disenfranchised with the what is being considered "craft" beer. This really hit hard with feedback from my last 3 batches.

Super crisp- clean, sessionable Lager: Too boring
Top tier West Coast IPA: Too bitter, not hazy or fruity enough
Marshamallow Dessert stout (I wasn't happy with sub-par quality) AMAZING!!!

Long story short, I want to brew more "Craft" beers. Does anybody have any recipes for a good New England Double Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Tropical Salted Caramel Double Dry Hopped Extra Oat Cream Vanilla Milkshake Chocolate Raspberry Icecream Sour White Stout Infused with Mint, Hibiscus and Truffle oil?

You can find SN Pale Ale the world round. You really don't have to look far

Drank a Torpedo last week, bloody amazing stuff! It’s good to just get back to what you liked rather than fluff around every Friday afternoon at the bottle shop..

It had been a while since I drank a Torpedo, but bought a 6-er a couple of weeks ago. Funny how your brain forgets certain things after drinking so many different styles, recipes of beer, etc... I had forgotten how much "bite" the hop forwardness of Torpedo has!

The Torpedo recipe for homebrew scale is on SN's website too. One day I'm going to get around to brewing it.
