hopIQ found 10 beers with the same chocolate and coffee character as Pirate Life Export Stout. Oats, black malt and chocolate malt build the body, with East Kent Golding and Columbus on the hop side. The malt takes the lead and gives coffee, cocoa and sticky date pudding, while the oats lend a rich, creamy mouthfeel. Columbus supplies a solid dose of bitterness, sixty IBU of it, and the Golding lays a gentle earthy spice underneath. A cold-weather beer rather than a sipping one. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
