hopIQ found 10 beers with the same sweet and chocolate character as Darkstar November. Darkstar November is the imperial stout with which Bottle Logic started its barrel programme, and it returns every year as a new vintage. Rye and molasses go into the brew before the beer ages in bourbon barrels. Molasses sweetness and a spicy rye edge lead, joined by vanilla from the oak, cocoa and chocolate-like wood notes. Tasters also describe brown sugar and dark roasted malt. The most recent vintage is somewhat drier and lighter in body than its strength suggests, with bourbon warmth in the finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
