hopIQ found 10 beers with the same chocolate and sweet character as Imperial Kirsch. An imperial stout matured in Cognac barrels, which the brewery calls a returning favourite of its barrel-aged programme; the current release spent 24 months in wood and has 10.0%, earlier ones 11%. Vocation describes a double-mashed beer with dark chocolate and ripe Morello cherries up front, a sweet, spiced depth from the spirit and hints of candied fruit. Tasters recall Black Forest gateau, marzipan, almond, oak and low bitterness. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
