Beers similar to Number of the Beast

American Strong Ale·United States·14% ABV·One of 8 American Strong Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Number of the Beast's boozy and sweet character. Judgment Day, the base beer for Cuvée de Tomme, had never been released from bourbon barrels, so it went into first-fill ones. The raisins in that base took over the flavour, steering the talk to oatmeal-raisin cookies and a freshly baked treat, so cinnamon sticks and dried chiles went into the barrels too. 14% ABV.
