Beers similar to Cherry Stout

Stout·United States·7% ABV·One of 162 Stouts in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Cherry Stout's chocolate and rich character. Rich, dark chocolate notes with tart cherries, lightly hopped for balance. The tartness comes from 100% Montmorency cherries grown in Michigan's Traverse City region, a counterpoint to the chocolate rather than extra sweetness. At 7% ABV, 17 IBU and original gravity 1.079, this limited release is one of the cornerstones of the Bell's stout portfolio.
