Beer Information and Tasting Notes

Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale

By Jeff Evans

Nose: Full malt: chocolate, treacle toffee and coffee. Light peppery hop resins.
Palate: Rich and malty but not sweet. More treacle toffee and chocolate at first, with a good, immediate peppery-hop counterattack and a little alcoholic tingle.
Finish: Drying and malty, gradually becoming more bitter. Still more treacle toffee.
Comment: A full and satisfying strong brown ale, made in part with caramelised brown sugar. Perhaps a touch too strong for its own good: the alcohol detracts a little from the complex dark malt character.
