Indian Brown Ale Clone

A

Airlock_Sniffer

I am looking for and Dogfish Indian Brown Ale Clone.  I am helping my brother get his equipment together as he is new to homebrewing.
I asked him what he would like to brew 1st.  Indian Brown came up.  Here is what i have so far:
The beer as described by DF is a cross between a IPA, Scotch Ale and an American Brown.
Aromatic Barley, Caramelized Brown sugar, Liberty and Golding's and an ABV at 7.2%
Any ideas for a starting point?
Cheers! :D
 
I found this extract version, supposedly from Sam Calagione.

Never made it myself, but I like DFH Indian Brown Ale. So I may try to find an AG version myself.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply!
We did find the recipe in Sam's book Extreme Brewing!
My brother and i will be brewing that recipe for his maiden brew.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

The July/Aug 2011 (new issue) of Zymurgy has the All Grain Clone version:

Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale Clone
Recipe by Amahl Turczyn Scheppach

5.5 US Gallons
Boil Time: 90 min
IBU's 21
SRM: 22
OG: 1.072

12lb Pale Two Row
10oz Amber Malt
10oz Crystal 60L
2oz Roasted Barley
8oz Caramelized or Brown Sugar in boil
0.5oz Warrior Pellet Hops (16%AA) at 60 min
1.0oz Vanguard Pellet Hops (4.5%AA) at 0 min
Ringwood Ale yeast

Mash at 152 degrees for 60 minutes.  Mash out at 168 degrees for 10 minutes.  Ferment at 70 degrees, then condition in secondary at 60 degrees for at least one week. 

**Due to the Ringwood Ale yeast, you will need a diacetyl rest - though the secondary for at least a week should take care of that.
