Overall similarity
HOPIQ TAKE
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout if you want restraint and drinkability, Dekadents if you want raw intensity and complexity. Both sit at 10-11% ABV with identical IBU counts, so the gap isn't about alcohol or bitterness—it's about what the brewers chose to emphasize. Brooklyn's version feels like a conversation; Dekadents feels like a sermon. Neither is wrong; it depends on your headspace.
