COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Rugged yet smooth, Kodiak Brown Ale balances caramel and roasted malts with enticing Northwest hops. Perle and Willamette hops accent without overpowering this American brown ale’s intrepid maltiness. The result is uniquely delicious.

Inspired by the adventurous spirit readily found in Alaska, Kodiak Brown Ale invites you to take the road less traveled. Kodiak has remained one of our most popular beers since we first fired up the brew kettle in 1995, proving that Alaskans are not afraid of the dark.

Pair Kodiak Brown Ale with comfort foods—macaroni and cheese, lasagna, burritos; pub grub—burgers, nachos, deep-fried bites—and just about anything prepared on the grill. You can also just kick back and enjoy a tall cool one when you want to relax and enjoy LiFe.

Ratman197 (7610) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - MAY 15, 2013
Bomber poured a clear reddish brown with a small lasting tan head. Aromas of graininess, cocoa and light carmel. Palate was medium bodied and crisp. Flavors of cocoa, carmel and earthiness with a crisp lingering cocoa finish.

Nutty and metallic with little bit of chocolate and toast. A bit thin and lacking richness. Feels a bit watery and not complete. Good but not great.

Strykzone (3812) - Wood River, Illinois, USA - APR 7, 2013
Bomber from Dice. This is one I have wanted to try for a while. A cherry red clear pour with a nice tan fluffy head. This brings some nice roasted notes with citrus hops and pleasant nuttiness. Bitterness from the hops and the roast is just right. A creamy feel. Some mint in the after taste. This is not a disappointment.

brenn79 (1198) - Idaho, USA - APR 5, 2013
22 oz. bottle- Pours very dark ruby red with a nice fluffy two finger head that takes it’s time receding. Aroma has that weird smell that I can never identify yet is very noticeable, not unappealing, just kind of odd. The taste is kind of odd too, you do get the roastiness of the malt, some nuts, but that odd aroma transfers over to the taste, I wish I knew what that was, almost like a sour note. Body could be fuller, carbonation is medium high. Overall there are better brown ales out there.

Brown pour with a big tan, 2 finger head. Aroma of a farm field full of grain. Hints of cereal and biscuit. Medium mouth. Taste is full of barley and bread. A little cereal too. Aftertaste is slightly sweet followed by the lingering grain. Pretty easy drinking.
