2011 Day 4: Dogfish Head Indian Brown

Name: Indian Brown Ale
From: Dogfish Head, Delaware, USA
Type: American Brown Ale


Today's beer was an Indian Brown Ale from Dogfish Head, which I drank with some fish tacos for dinner. This is marketed as a highly hopped brown ale. The one I drank today wasn't all that hoppy, in a blind taste test I would have guessed it was a porter, or even a stout, as the roasted flavors were really strong. I've had it before and noticed the hop presence much more than I did today. DFH stamps their bottles with dates, so I could see it was only three months old. I suppose that's long enough for some of the hop flavor and aroma to fade. Still, it was rich and flavorful and went down really easy. A tasty beer!
