Dogfish Head Indian Brown

The Dogfish Head Brewery is in Milton, Delaware. This is their 7.2% ABV dark IPA.

The beer pours a very dark brown and dark ruby in color, almost black. There is a short and short-lived head of light tan foam. The aroma is dark roasted, yet bright and fruity, with char, light coffee, and dark berries. The taste follows the aromas, and you can taste the brown sugar along with the dark roast notes. The finish has sweetness, but is hopped enough to finish mostly dry. There is a moderate bitterness. The beer drinks smooth, with a subtly intense carbonation at the end.
