Beers similar to Old Tom

hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dark fruit and rich character as Old Tom. Old Tom is a strong dark ale, first brewed on 1 November 1899 and named after the brewery cat, whose face the head brewer of the day sketched and which still looks out from the label. It pours the colour of cherry brandy and smells of molasses and vinous dark fruit. The palate is rich and warming: ripe malt, roasted nuts and chocolate with a smoky depth, lifted by peppery hops. The finish recalls port wine and lingers for a long time. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
