Midnight Sun Kodiak Brown Ale

22 oz. bottle (from Liquid Solutions) served in a long forgotten stein- poured a solid brown with tints of ruby and maroon, low carbonation, aroma of various nuts, caramel, yeast, malt, and a note of brown sugar. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt has been roasted and slightly sweetened, a nutty/earthtone comes in lightly in the middle, finish is complete. Possibly a little favored on the rating, but it is my favorite style. Still, I should get it over with and move to Alaska for the beer, hunting, and fishing. Now.

Bottle. Mahogony brown beer with a light tan head. Light roast, craamel, and coffee aroma with light hops. Coffee and caramel flavor with light roast and light earth. Medium bodied. Caramel, light roast, and light hops linger.

Copper to ruby in color. Smaller beige head. Sweet grain, brown sugar, buckwheat honey, and herbal hops aromas. Flavors are sweet with grain and roasted peanuts. LIght floral and herbal finish and linger. One of the better brown ales.

Bottle from The Bier Stein in Eugene, OR. Poured a brown color with a brown head. I was expecting a lot more from the beer. Just another nutty brown ale with a hop finish. A good brew, but far too expensive.

Thanks John! This was a pretty great brown ale. The beer pours to a deep brown body with a thin off-white head. The aroma is nutty with peanuts and dry walnuts. Deep brown malts. The flavor is nutty with peanuts and deep malty walnuts. The palate is sweet and dry. A fantastic brown ale...

Bottle pours a slightly hazy chestnut brown. Nice blocky tan head. Woody sharp malt aroma. Somewhat astringent woody malt flavor. Earthy and yes...cola. A bit hoppy and sharp for a brown and pleasant to the end. I wish I had better access the MS beers.

Thanks to John for bringing the bomber! Poured clear, deep reddish-brown with a short, dense cap of beige head. The aroma picked up toasted nutty and semi-sweet chocolate notes primarily with accents of cola and earth.. just what I need out of my brown ales. The flavor had caramel, nutty notes, and dry-roasted chocolate at the core, with earth and bitter chocolate around.. lost a bit of body on the finish. Medium-bodied and toasty on the palate, just a little bit empty at times.. carbonation held up well. I could use this on tap at the house.

Pours brown into the glass with an off white head. Aroma is roasted grain with a little sweet malt. Great flavor in this beer with a balance between roast, sweetness, and bitterness. Would definitely have this one again
