Looking for a roasty stout under 6% abv

I'll keep thinking because this one is 6.5%, but Founders Porter has a lot of roastiness.

 

Its been a long time since I've had it, would Shakespeare stout work?

 

Kalamazoo? Probably not terribly roasty, been a little while.

 

Sierra Nevada Stout

 

Sam Adams cream stout. Delicious. Cheap. Everywhere.

 

New Holland The Poet

 

Good luck with the search at those ABV limits, tough. I think Foothills BA People Porter is around that level though, all barrel and oak, not much on the roast, local here so that doesn't help you much. Agree with Hop Droppen about Kalamazoo, love the bit of licorice hit with this one, easily available.

 

This. This. This.

So overlooked.

 

Tree House That's What She Said is a nice roasty milk stout and is like 5.4% ABV.

 

TJs oatmeal stockyard stout might work for you.

 

Fuller's London porter (5.4 % ABV) is widely available and delicious.

Firestone Walker's Velvet Merlin (5.5%) isn't as widely available, but is also a great choice. It's a bit more chocolately & roasty compared to Fuller's.

Was going to suggest this as well. Although it is listed as 6.30% ABV. It's still worth trying for your experiment though.

 

I agree on that one, it's so roasty it almost tastes burnt.

 

any decent Dry Irish Stout should fit the bill

 

Black House would be perfect but it's only on Cali or through online shopping

 

I didn't think OP would quibble over an extra 0.3%

 

Haha, hopefully not.
