hopIQ found 10 beers with the same coffee and chocolate character as Black Giraffe. Black Giraffe first appeared in 2010 as a black lager brewed with coffee from a Queensland roaster, using hundreds of kilos of freshly roasted beans. Barley, wheat and specialty malts are fermented with the lager yeast the brewery uses across its lagers, and the hopping draws on American varieties. It pours deep mahogany to black under a tan head. Espresso and chocolate lead the nose with a hint of cola, and the full-bodied palate joins caramel and toffee malt with cocoa and roasted coffee bitterness before a crisp, drying finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
