Aug 28, 2009 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.

Aug 15, 2009 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

Aug 12, 2009 Pours brown with a tan head. Smells earthy and sweet. Tastes earthy with some dark fruity hints and some sugary splashes. Decent.

Aug 6, 2009 Bottle... Poured dark reddish/brown with a thick, tan head. Aroma of dark fruits -- raisins and plums -- and yeasty, sweet malts. Well carbonate with flavors of dark malts and some hops towards the end. It sort of thinned out towards the finish as I wished it would have taken a shape similar to its aroma. Sweet water and roasted caramel accents. As it warmed, it started to take close to it’s aroma with the oak, wood-like grains and a yeasty ester.

Jul 31, 2009 This was a well-cellared sample - perhaps 8 years old. Deep brown, good label. Very malty aroma, somewhat vanilla-ed. Thin mouth, coffee flavor, simple syrup sweetness. Decent. Roasty aftertaste.

Jul 30, 2009 22 oz bottle I picked up on a recent trip to Seattle. Pours a medium to dark brown hue with a small faint brown head. A fair amount of lacing. Average malt aroma, cereal, light roast coffee. Flavors are very malty, coffee builds very nicely. Decent brown ale.

6/11/2009: Midnight Sun Kodiak Brown Ale has an average appearance for a brown ale (brown color with a small beige head). I has a weak milkd chocolate/coffee (watery mocha) aroma and similar flavor. It is slightly yeasty in the middle with a roasty finish. It has a smooth, milky texture in the mouth. There is nothing especially noteworthy about this beer, but it is a solid, drinkable brown ale.
