Beers similar to Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout

hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and rich character as Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout. Deep black and strong at 7 %, though moderate by the standards of the style. Chocolate and dark roast lead, joined by espresso, dark fruit and the esters of the house yeast; hop bitterness keeps the malt sweetness in balance. The body is rich and warming, the finish long, with roast and a little alcohol. Brewed with well water, barley malt, roasted barley and cane sugar and fermented in slate Yorkshire squares. The style goes back to strong stouts that British brewers shipped to the Russian court. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
