Beers similar to So Happens It's Tuesday

Imperial Stout·United States·13.7% ABV·One of 420 Imperial Stouts in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share So Happens It's Tuesday's chocolate and dark-fruity character. So Happens It's Tuesday is the somewhat lighter companion to Black Tuesday: an imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels and brought back in regular editions, most recently in 2025. Dark chocolate, toasted malt and vanilla lead the aroma. On the palate dark fruit such as fig and cherry joins caramel and molasses, while the barrel adds oak and a warming bourbon note. The body is full and roasty, the finish long and smooth.
