Cletus (5002), Connecticut, USA 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. timfoolery (482), California, USA Aug 6, 2009 Bottle from The Bottle Shop in Eugene, OR. This brown was not unlike others... good palate, limited flavor, light caramel, good carbination, nothing special... boFNjackson (1233), Portland, Oregon, USA 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. Aurelius (2643), Tallahassee, Florida, USA 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. danielcurtis81 (879), San Diego, California, USA 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. shigadeyo (2210), Harrison, Ohio, USA Jul 10, 2009 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.
Aggy360 (115), Anchorage/ Vista,CA, Alaska, USA Jun 7, 2009 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. robforbes (1083), Bremerton, Washington, USA May 30, 2009 pours a semi-clear deep brown with a ruby tint, a thin beige head, and some lacing.
