My understanding is that it is no longer exported to the US from the UK. Anyone know why? This was one of my favorite beers of all time.

Likely just wasn't economical. Most Americans aren't big fans of stout, and most microbreweries produce it locally for the ones who are. You might try looking for a local brewer and see if they have one, most microbrews are awesomely good.
p.s. If you live in the west, look for the New Belgium brand, they have a black ale (not stout) thats to die for. Its called 1554.

Cream stouts in America are hard to come by, mostly because the American pallete isn't mature enough for the dark flavors of stouts. I've never had the opportunity to try Wataney's, but other cream stouts are widely available in the states. In the Pacific Northwest, Snowplow is widely available. Mackeson's is an English cream stout that is available at least in the midwest.

Sleeman used to license it out of Canada, but no longer. If anyone can find a suitable sub, let me know. I tried to special order it from a giant craft liquor store and he could not even find a distributor in USA. Said it was unobtanium......Stuff was great.
