Dec 26, 2005 This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized mostly lasting light brown colored bubbles excellent sheet lacing. The body contained no visible carbonation, was very hazy semi-opaque and dark brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of nice malty semi-vinous sweet . Its mouth feel is initially very tingly with a lingering tingly palate and a very nice chocolate aftertaste that fades into the finish. Its flavor contained very nice malty sweet mild hop flavorful chocolate brown malty notes and was very tasty. Nicely done! Excellent brew.

Oct 13, 2002 Poured with a monster head. A sweet aroma doesn’t tip you to the bready flavor that comes along. A meal in a glass. Good.

Apr 7, 2005 Thanks to jsquire for sharing this at his beer tasting. Small tan creamy and smooth head that was mostly lasting, fine-large sized bubbles, sparse lacing, and a copper brown hue. Aroma was alcohol, sweet and some mild caramel. Flavor was malty, sweet and vinuous. Mildly tingly mouthfeel. Medium body. Very quaffable and worth trying.

Nov 17, 2006 This is simply one of the best beers produced in the state of Alaska. Alaska produces some extremely delicious beers, so that is no small compliment.

Mar 22, 2005 This was sampled from a bomber bottle I brought back from AK. Deep brownish amber color with a large, foamy tan head that subsided to a strong bead around the edge of the glass. Very inviting nose of red wine and alcohol. I would not have been able to pick this as a scottish ale. Lots of fruitiness up front with apples and cherries with some sweet chocolate in the finish. Very easy drinking beer and very enjoyable for a style I tend not to like very much.
