Tonight's beer: Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale
Densely woven: dark bread, toast, molasses; earth and grass and flwoers. Hints of chocolate and vanilla, pine and dark dried fruits (cherries and plums and figs and dates) and baking spice (mostly allspice and cloves) in the background. Tightly bittersweet through the middle, dries out smoothly and swiftly into the finish.
Medium-bodied, decently carbonated. Maybe some chewiness, some syrupy stickiness around the end, as the beer wraps up drying and impressively refreshing and surprisingly clean.
This is the Dogfish Head beer I keep going back to (though it's sometimes a while between). It's impressively intense and complex, wonderfully well-balanced and integrated, staggeringly drinkable. This is a brown beer that has elements of a porter, and of a wee heavy, and of a dubbel; with all those facets, it's no surprise this is one of the most flexibly food-friendly beers I know of. Even on its own, it's delicious.
