hopIQ found 10 beers with the same chocolate and roasted character as Barrel Aged Blackout. An imperial stout named after the 2003 power outage across the northeastern United States, aged for several months in bourbon barrels and released each November in cans. Simcoe and Nugget hops sit on two-row malt, Crystal 77, black malt and roasted barley. It pours black with a tan head. Dark chocolate and roasted grain lead, followed by vanilla, bourbon-soaked oak, toffee and a thread of dark fruit. The body is full and smooth, the alcohol shows as sweet warmth, and the finish is long, with coffee-like char and a dry oak edge. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
