DRAFT REVIEW: Bootlegger Brown Ale  Bootlegger’s ruddy brown
look is both rugged and enticing, enhanced with a creamy, tan
head. Smooth chocolate aromas entwine with tobacco leaf and
earthy hop notes. Its chocolaty presence unfolds further on the
tongue, coating the palate from front to back and picking up
hints of smoke. Floral hops add bitter touches, but they don’t
bite quite hard enough to match the beer’s overall sweetness.
However, Bootlegger’s smooth carbonation and creamy texture do
make it easy on the tongue.
