hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and dry character as County Brown Ale. Mahogany with red highlights, brewed without adjuncts or added flavours. Roasted malt leads: nutty toffee, biscuit, a thread of chocolate and coffee, over a medium body that finishes on the dry side, so the malt layers stay clear of any cloying sweetness. Hops sit back and hold the balance. First brewed in 1985 for the cask, and still poured that way in parts of Ontario. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
