hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and chocolate character as Guinness 0.0. Brewed at St James's Gate from the same water, barley, roasted barley, hops and yeast as the draught version, with the alcohol taken out afterwards by cold filtration rather than held back during fermentation; the brewers then blend and balance the result. Development ran four years. The aroma stays with roasted coffee and chocolate, the colour is the familiar dark ruby red under a creamy head, and bitter, sweet and roasted notes sit together on a body that is lighter than the full-strength beer. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
