hopIQ found 10 beers with the same chocolate and caramel character as Lead Dog. A winter ale blended from six malts and aged two months after fermentation. Near-black in the glass under a slightly tanned, creamy head. Dark chocolate and caramel dominate the aroma, with roasted nut and a trace of dark berry behind them. The palate is layered and malt-deep, medium in weight, with warming alcohol instead of heat and only a very light bitterness. The finish runs long, sweetish and smooth, and the strength stays well hidden. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
