hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and chocolate character as Bootlegger. Roasted barley sets a base of coffee and chocolate that arrives late, after an opening of caramel, barley sugar and a light honey sweetness. The nose is woody with a clear hazelnut note, carried on a dense head. Bitterness stays low, so the beer reads as malt-sweet rather than roasty, and the finish is soft and short. The house's founding beer, brewed since 1998. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
