Indian Brown Ale

The Beer Stats:
  • Beer Name: Indian Brown Ale
  • Brewery: DogFish Head (Delaware)
  • Style: Indian Brown Ale?
  • ABV: 7.2%
  • IBU: 50
  • Pour Color: A golden color on pour.




      On pour this one was dark and seemed to be thick. The head to it went up high and fluffy and fought back as I attempted to soak in the beer. The scent off the glass is a mix of a spicy hop and a roasted caramel. On sip you get a nice coffee flavor right away. You also notice the roasted malts quickly too. A bitter smokiness is tasted and it mixes well with the sweet chocolate and caramel taste on swallow. This beer is another one that is just a sea of flavors. All of them seem to be the right flavors though.
      Hops or wine hybrids seem to be the name of the game for dogfish, when you look at my reviews. But that's really not all these guys offer to tantalize the follicles. This one showcases a understanding of strong malts. A really great brown ale that has a little extra hop and scotch ale kick.
