Beers similar to 10 Layers

Pastry Stout·United States·7.2% ABV·One of 8 Pastry Stouts in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share 10 Layers's chocolate and roasted character. Named for Maryland's official state dessert — the Smith Island cake, ten thin layers stacked with chocolate frosting. RAR translates it into a pastry stout: dense sweet dark chocolate, molasses, roasted coffee, and a soft vanilla thread through the finish. Creamy mouthfeel, no sharpness. 10 Layers is dessert in a can, without apology.
