Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale

Facts of the Matter:

ABV: 7.2

IBU: 50

Hails From: Dogfish Head of Milton, DE

This beer poured a very dark reddish color that appeared burgundy under the light with a very small light brown head that faded fast and left minimal lacing. Smelt of roasted coffee beans mixed with a faint malted brown sugar sweetness. The flavor is rich and powerful yet gentle and delicate (like the perfect man) it is full bodied with complex layers of earthy flavor to be explored in each sip, yet light on the tongue it’s not over intense.  Roasted espresso is the dominating flavor but there is also the warmth of molasses and spices mixing together like backup singers. All in all this was an enjoyable beer, my first from Dogfish Head and certainly not my last.

Overall Rating: Thank you sir may I have another

P.S. Seeing as this is Valentine’s Day and all I figured I should point out that it goes wonderful with caramel, chocolate, and honey… have fun and don’t get in too much trouble and for more info on this beer you can watch Dogfish head founder Sam talk about it.

Enjoy Better Beer

Cheers!
