I used to love Beck's Dark, but I don't know if it's still commonly available.
A Guinness will work for me, but it's never been a favorite. I used to go to a pub in Ann Arbor that had a crazy selection of European beers and get stuff that was so dark and thick that I had to chew it.

Aw come on. How about Saranac Black Forrest? I know I go low brow on beer and always have but have spent plenty of time in Germany and to me it tastes as good as any I've had over there including Andechs Dunkle. About the only difference to me as it is and blessed by the church's brewery.🤗.
Hey, what about that classic , MEISTERBRAU🤢🤮... my wife's german friend came over here once and grabbed one out of the fridge and almost puked. â˜¹ï¸ Whoopsie..... of course I got a big laugh out of it. There's better beer in a plastic bottle on a german supermarket than most of what you get over here. There is hope though........ after 60+ years of putrid dishwater beers we are finally back in the game.

I go with Guinness, Shiner Bock, and Yuenling Lager as options of varying levels of darkness.
+1 on the Shiner Bock!

Yeah, I wish someone in the national beer industry could explain to me what happened about it. Beck's is still everywhere, but the dark just faded from the marketplace. It was an outstanding dark/still is.
We had a standing Weds. night drinking table at a local German restaurant in college. This was the "house dark" and even the German students declared it "ausgezeichnet!"

Sounds like it was discontinued:
