Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale, a Brown Ale by Dogfish Head BreweryThe pour begets a beauty of an ale that is mahogany colored, with a halo of ruby, and a thin tan head. The smell of freshly baked pumpernickel bread and molasses wafts up from the glass. Upon drinking, the mouthfeel is adequately heavy, with a softness and silkiness that is unexpected.
Many flavors are present, some moreso than others. The most prominent are that of a dark bread, rye or pumpernickel, lightly toasted (the toastedness lending itself to an even lighter roastedness); molasses; brown sugar; a hint of raisin; and a minor alcohol edge.
A great example of a brown ale, and a reminder of why I like the style overall.
