About the darkest I tolerate is a Fantome Hiver or Fantome de Noel, and those are just dark amber.

Wait, now that I'm thinking about it, I remember Stillwater's two dark saisons -- Exsistent and A Saison Darkly -- being pretty good. Not amazing, but tasty beers that blur between farmhouse ale and old-school porter.
Stillwater's Existent is what finally prompted me to ask you that question. I had a bottle last night. It was decent. However, like you, I've never found a dark farmhouse ale good enough to make me a fan of the style.
