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?

american brown ale, Porter, blonde ales

Please happen, please happen. Throw in red ale, steam ale, plain jane stouts and some lagers (although those are surging a bit now) and I'll be pretty happy in the beer aisle.

That'd make me so happy! Good brown ales are hard to find, and generally they leave nothing to hide behind because they're all about balance.

Cigar City's Maduro Brown is A+ if they distribute to you.

Jackie O's Chomolungma is also acceptable.
