Bottle. Brown pour with khaki head. Nose is nutty, light earth, butterscotch, coffee as well. Flavor is lightly smoky, earthy, light coffee. Nice full mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Pretty tasty brown ale, was a bit surprised by this one.

Draft 4/14/10 (Opal Divine’s-Freehouse)-Pours a medium brown with no head. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. Taste of the same with coffee as well. This medium bodied brew is not a bad little brown ale.

Nice dark ale. No particular aroma or taste come to mind while drinking this. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This beerbwas real good very smoothe for a brown ale not real hoppy but had those nutty notes

Dark brown, cola like pour. Thin head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate. Taste is very similar to aroma. Finish is a little watery. Not bad. ---Rated via iPhone

The aroma is dominated by the dark malts, with notes of cocoa powder, dry toffee, grain, and hazelnut. Smooth, inoffensive, and comforting. The taste is mildly sweet with residual hop bitterness and a wee hint of roasted malt lingering in the aftertaste. Velvety mouthfeel with minimal carbonation and a clean, refreshing finish. A nice early-afternoon treat, like a good brown ale should be; no more and no less.

12 oz. bottle. Pours dark brown with a moderate-large tan head that lasted through the first two sips and left light lace. Pleasant aroma of crystal malt with a few notes of caramel. The flavor is malt with some nuts and very mild chocolate. Mild bitterness at the finish. Medium bodied. A bit timid, but no problems.

Independence brewing bootlegger brown ale - starts by gushing, reddish brown with thin brown ring. Bad start. Rubber band and acetone, tons of plastic, notes of a brown ale very hidden. The taste is less plasticy but that still dominates. Seems to be infected or just plain bad. Notes of chocolate malt, light brown malt, and coffee. Burning carbonation and thin body. Not enjoyable.

Pours dark mahogany with a tiny fizzy ring. Smell is reminiscent of chocolate and nuttiness. Taste is chocolate, toffee, caramel, hints of nuts, and some mild hop bitterness. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture and soft mouth-carbonation, Independence Brewing Bootlegger Brown Ale finishes with a touch of smooth chocolate.

Rich dark color with a note of coffee. Much better than I remembered it being. Would drink again. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
