hopIQ found 10 beers that share Edinburgh Black's roasted and coffee character. Roasted malts bring layers of rich coffee and bittersweet cocoa, with a subtle toasted note that lingers. Smooth and creamy, this dry stout pours deep and dark under a thick, velvety head. The aim: a Scottish answer to the world's most famous stout. 4.2 % ABV, 35 IBU.
