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.

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

Bottle from The Bottle Shop in Eugene, OR. This brown was not unlike others... good palate, limited flavor, light caramel, good carbination, nothing special...

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.

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.

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.

22 Fl. Oz. bottle (5.0% Alcohol by Volume - 24 IBUs; Month & Week Bottled: MAR 2) from Safeway in Seward, Alaska. Rating #146 for this beer.

A simple brown ale. Pours a clear redish brown with a very, very thin off-white head. The smell of roasted malt, toffee and coffee. Taste of sweet malt, roasted malt, and toffee. A little too much coffee taste for the style, I think. A hint of bitterness on the aftertaste, that is nice. It adds a little balance to the brew. A light body beer that is still pretty good.
