Indian Brown (Dogfish Head)

I had this brew at a Beer Geeks IN farewell to DFH. I briefly read the description of this Indian Brown Ale and thought it would good.

General Thoughts
Look and Smell: The head was tan and creamy. The brew was dark brown. The smell was an odd mix of and hops. I could smell the yeast.

Taste: It had that same odd flavor I couldn't place, like something burned. Tasted like wort...yummy grain. The aftertaste was grainy. I liked it.

From the DFH site:
Forget about the car companies, this is the original hybrid, a cross between a Scotch Ale, an India Pale Ale, and an American Brown. Our Indian Brown Ale is well-hopped and malty at the same time (magical). The beer has characteristics of each style that inspired it; the color of an American Brown, the caramel notes of a Scotch Ale, and the hopping regiment of an India Pale Ale. We dry-hop the Indian Brown Ale in a similar fashion as our 60 Minute IPA and 90 Minute IPAs. This beer is brewed with Aromatic barley and organic brown sugar.
The Indian Brown Ale is available year-round, so you should be able to find it at fine retailers and restaurants who carry our other year-round beers. Don't see it? Ask! Most great retailers would love to hear from you.
