Dogfish Head - Indian Brown Ale

After enjoying previous brews from this brewery I thought it was about time to give this one a go. Indian Brown Ale ? So what we have here according to the blurb is a hybrid. Crossing scotch ale, ipa and an american pale ale. Will it blend ?....

Big aroma of heavily roasted malt with a subdued hoppyness in the background from the pour.

IBA pours dark brown with ruby tints and with a creamy beige head. Slightly sweet intake that is heavy with roasted malt along with caramel and dried fruit while the finish is hoppy and quite bitter. This has a very pleasant long nutty/chocolate aftertaste with roasted malt and caramel again. Low in the carbonation department and the mouthfeel is light creamy. No alcohol shining through.

Well, if you like prominently malty brews with a bit of a hoppy bite at the end then this one could be right up your street. I thought this one was a really nice tasty beer and I enjoyed it. Easy drinking, one I would have no problems buying and drinking again sometime. Summing up, a quality hybrid that is worth a try if you are looking for something different.

This scored 7.5/10 'I'm proud to say I don't know anyone that owns a hybrid car' Beerometer.
