I have lots of vices in my life. I enjoy my vices. Here I offer critical (but non-pretentious) reviews of the many vices I indulge in. Mainly craft beer.

Dogfish Head India Brown Ale
7.2% ABV from a bottle
I pretty much like every beer from Dogfish Head and this one is no exception. I’m a big fan of brown ales and this probably surpasses my previous favorite, Brooklyn Brown. This beer pours dark and frothy like a can of Welch’s grape soda. It’s very alcoholic for a brown, those doesn’t exactly taste so. Quite frankly, it almost tastes like a stout, or maybe a porter (although now that I think about it, I’m not really sure I know the difference. (Shame on me self-proclaimed-beer-connoisseur*)). I could drink these all night—I think—though I would assume the ABV would eventually catch up with me and I’d wake up with my head in a pizza box wondering, “Wha’ happened?” Very nice beer.
A-
(Apropos of nothing…I really Dogfish Head’s labels. Very sharp)
*Wikipediaing reveals stouts and porters to be virtually identical.
