American Stout·United States·6.8% ABV·One of 17 American Stouts in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Irish Channel Stout's chocolate and coffee character. Smooth, rich and dark, with a strong espresso front end and a touch of baker's chocolate on the finish. A crisp bitterness from American hops and roasted barley balances it. The brewery calls it a love letter to its neighborhood, the Irish Channel, which was settled in the 19th century by Irish immigrants.
