Beers similar to Dry Irish Stout

Irish Dry Stout·Canada·4.8% ABV·One of 74 Irish Dry Stouts in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Dry Irish Stout's dry and roasted character. Near-black under a dense tan head, built on roasted barley. Coffee and dark chocolate carry the aroma, with a burnt bread-crust edge underneath. The body stays light for the colour, lightly sweet through the middle before the roast pulls the finish dry and faintly ashy. Bitterness comes from the roast rather than the hops, and the whole thing drinks smooth and quick.
