Irish Dry Stout·Ireland·4.3% ABV·One of 86 Irish Dry Stouts in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Black Rock's chocolate and roasted character. Black Rock is a dry Irish stout with a full flavour and a smooth body. Roasted barley lays down a rich, chocolatey base, joined by herbal hints and quiet notes of vanilla and aniseed. Carbonation is light and the finish dry. Northern Brewer is the only hop, and 40 IBU give the roast a firm bitter frame at 4.3%.
