hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and chocolate character as Guinness Smooth. A stout built for a softer finish than the classic draught, brewed with sorghum alongside malted, unmalted and roasted barley. The aroma leads with roast and a pronounced sweetness of chocolate and caramel. It pours dark ruby red under a frothy head, and the palate is rounded rather than sharp: malt sweetness and roast bitterness sit close together, and the close is short and clean rather than drying. It is sold mainly in African and Asian markets. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
