Dark Horse Boffo Brown Brown Ale

Boffo Brown Brown Ale, from Dark Horse Brewery of Warren, Michigan. Alec 7.0% by volume.

Clear, medium-brown coloring, small brownish head, that disappears quickly.

Malty, roasty nose. Some cocoa in there, a bit o' nuts. Caramel malt.

In the mouth, good carbonation. Medium bodied. Malt forward, with some hop presence. Touch of chocolate, more caramel. Hints of anise and molasses. Steers close to sweetness, but keeps that just at bay. Nice interplay between hops and malt.

I don't turn to brown ales much. Not a favorite style. Just doesn't give me what I'm looking for. But this isn't a bad one. Good beer. You can drink it.
