hopIQ found 10 beers that share Black Shox Porter's chocolate and roasted character. Black Shox Porter is an American-style robust porter from Laughing Sun in Bismarck, with a complex roast flavor and chocolate and coffee overtones. The grist combines American 2-row barley with chocolate malt, a variety of Crystal malts, oats and other specialty malts. American-style yeast keeps it clean, and Cascade hops balance the roast flavors of the higher-kilned malts.
