hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and chocolate character as Philter Old Ale. The Old Ale follows the Australian reading of the style, a dark session ale rather than a strong English old. Roasted malts bring chocolate and coffee with a hint of dark bread crust, the body stays smooth and moderate, and a medium bitterness keeps the roast from turning sweet. Old-school in the best sense. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
