Beers similar to Bootlegger Brown

Smithers Brewing Company

English Brown Ale·Canada·4.8% ABV·One of 5 English Brown Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Bootlegger Brown's caramel and chocolate character. An English-style brown ale, semi-sweet and fuller in body than the modest strength suggests. Toffee and milk chocolate come through first, with brown bread and a light nuttiness behind them and only a trace of roast at the edge. The hops stay in the background, present just enough to keep the malt from turning cloying, and the finish is soft and rounded.
