Dogfish Indian Brown Ale: Beer Review

This 7.2% abv ale pours a dark drown body with a one finger tan head. The aroma is pleasing with a nice toasted malt nose. It reads on the bottle, “A clean, well-hopped brown ale with aromatic barley, caramelized brown sugar and whole-leaf liberty & Goldings hops.”

It must be the aromatic barley giving me the dark fruit taste. It tastes like fresh dried dark raisins and fig. I also like the mild coffee note and cola like character.

The caramelized brown sugar is tasty but, the sweetness is tempered by the hops. The hops supply a nice bitter quality to the taste profile.

The mouthfeel is smooth and the carbonation level is moderate. There is a good roasted malt taste on the palate but, the aftertaste and lingering notes are settle.

This pleasing brown ale is easy to drink. I have never had this one before but, I am sure glad I bought a six pack. Might be a new brown ale favorite in the making.
