Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale makes me a happy camper in Washington D.C.

 
 Out of LA for the weekend and excited to be in Washington D.C. visiting Sarah E!

I am surrounded by unfamiliar local brews but can't resist the awesomeness that is Dogfish Head. The Indian Brown Ale is something I've never seen available for purchase in LaLa land. It's a brown ale with caramelized brown sugar and two kinds of whole leaf hops.
I can't remember what show I was watching or who's mug and it's killing me, but that beer is gorgeous!
Excellent chocolate and nut aroma. It pours a really dark brown, closer to a porter. The brown ale body is changed substantially by the caramelized sugar, which takes the bite out. Whole leaf hops are a subtle touch to this unique take on brownie ale. It's a very drinkable beer and would go great with food or afternoon football game. I drank a bunch of it and wish it grew on trees in California. Lov'n it. THE ROCK rating.
