Commercial Description:
Rugged yet smooth, Kodiak Brown Ale sports abundant yet graceful portions of pale and specialty malts, balancing caramel sweetness with a roasted malt character. Perle and Willamette hops accent without overpowering this brown ale's intrepid maltiness. The result is a bit bold but beautifully balanced. That Kodiak Brown Ale is our most popular beer says something about the adventuous spirit found in Alaska. But we are not surprised; we know Alaskans are not afraid of the dark.

A pretty decent and well made brown ale overall. Has a rich kind of moist feeling in the mouth, like biting into a fresh piece of chocolate cake, lots of rich caramel, and a sloid well balanced structure. A great session ale.

Thanks to Skyview! Dark brown color with a thin head. Aroma is slightly reminicent of Lysol. Nutty flavor and lots of dry malt. There is a kind of ’freshness’ on the finish... Kind of like the cool burning of wintergreen, but not the wintergreen flavor.

Appearance: Pours a dark chestnut brown body with a small, light beige head. Smell: Malty aroma predominately of toasted nuts, but with lesser notes of caramel and chocolate. Taste: Brown maltiness brings out a flavor of earthy, toasted nuts with a subtle caramel sweetness. Splash of chocolate water. Slight hint of fruit. Again, there’s not much hopwise going on beyond a little light bitterness. Quick finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A pleasant, mild, and quite drinkable brown ale.

22 oz. bottle - pours clear reddish brown with no head; aromas come off stale with a mix of malts and brown sugar; light bodied with very mild flavors; not too much going on with this brown
