Beers similar to Imperial Brown Stout London 1856

hopIQ found 10 beers with the same chocolate and smooth character as Imperial Brown Stout London 1856. Brewed to a London recipe from 1856 for the kind of stout that later became known as Russian imperial stout. Despite the name the beer is black. It is smooth and rounded rather than aggressive: cocoa on the nose, then cream, chocolate and dark fruit with a touch of plum and sour berry. The finish is long, with herbal bitterness and just enough light roast to hold it together. With age the bitterness softens and the fruit deepens. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
