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.

Last HWOH. Pours a deep brown with a thin lasting dark beige head and some lace. Aroma is light plastic phenols, ligth chocolate malts and nutty hints. Slight roasty flavor with more chocolate, nuts, toffee, and nice light hoppiness. Pretty solid brown ale.

Bottle: Pours a brown ebony color with thick tan head, lots of lacing. Nose is malty with some caramel and light toasted nuts. The flavor has a moderate body with a good balanced flavor, a bit of roast and a nutty aspect. This is similar to Rogue’s Hazelnut brown but has a bit more body and well rounded maltiness to it. The finish is smooth and sweet. Good brown ale.

2004 - 22 oz bottle - This is a style of beer that I enjoy, but they are a little harder to find at times. This one is pretty malty, but it has a decent hop kick. Not bad, worth buying again, probably not - but its worth a try for sure. There are much better brown ales out there.

Lovelly looking ale, a nice dark brown with a fantastiuc thick and frothy tan head. Good malty /nutty aromas, faint scent of chocoalte and some whiffs of hop. Smooth and malty flavours dominate but after a while hazelnut and a slight fruitiness appear and a small hop "kick" at the end. Very nice indeed on the palate, very smooth and satisfying. A good rendition of this style and very drinkable. A recommended brown ale.

Great roasted chocolate aroma, that is the first things I notice, along with a rich deepo syrupy pour. this is a big brown ale, with lots of sweet chocolate flavors and some nice peanut butter nuttiness. Very good and easy to drink on a cold, rainy Oregon night

Nice beep rich brown in color. The aroma gives off a light nutty small along with a good feel for the malts in the beer. There is a light hops flavor to this beer along with some dark crystal malts. This was a good beer easy drinking and good sitting around the fire in the log beer.
