The Boffo Brown ale is a beer that we brewed years ago and then put it in semi retirement for a couple years while we focused on other brands at the brewery. We have recently put it back onto active duty and are brewing it all year. The beer itself is delicious and is a favorite to many of us here at the brewery. Just as most of our beers it's on the "full body" scale pushing the envelope of what an American Brown Ale is to most people. The beer is a very deep/dark color of brown with a nice creamy tan head. The mouthfeel of the beer is very soft and is very drinkable. Flavors of malt, caramel, toffee, and a mild earthy nutty finish allow this beer to be paired with hearty food and sips of bourbon.

Bottle (from beergium). Pours dark ruby brown with beige head. The head stays for a moment. Aroma is very sweet, caramel candy, malt, slight peanut butter. Flavor is sweet and bitter, caramel, malt, nuts, some fruits. Finish is dry-nutty bitter with some lingering sweetness and slight alcohol burn. Overall: well-made brown ale (maybe bit too boozy), but by the numbers brown ale is very boring (because brown ale is boring style...).

Dark briwn, small airy beige head. Malty, roasted aroma, some dried fruit. Flavour is sweetish, has more dried fruit which turns slightly boozy. Finishes roasted with decent bitterness.
