hopIQ found 10 beers that share Sunblock's roasted and chocolate character. Roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate with earthy spice, a full-bodied, smooth and robust imperial stout with an earthy, slightly spicy bitterness from Warrior and Fuggle. 11.8% ABV, about 40 IBU, brewed from pilsner, Munich dark, caramel and brown malts plus roasted barley. A tribute to brewing strong ales at the winter solstice, the darkest day of the year.
