hopIQ found 10 beers with the same chocolate and coffee character as Wellington Imperial Stout. Jet black under a deep tan head. Dark chocolate and coffee in the aroma, cocoa and roasted malt across a full body, with toffee, dark fruit and raisin filling the middle and a trace of licorice at the close. Modelled on the British reading of the style, so bitterness stays moderate and the malt carries the weight. Launched in the early 1990s and brewed through every season since. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
