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.

Bottle at Barcade for tasting. Reddish brown in color with a medium tan head. Malty bandaid aroma. Caramel notes. Malty metallic flavor. Finishes with a weird bandaid flavor. Not a great beer. Pretty disappointing.

Reddish-brown color with a medium tan head. Aroma is light, malty, with some nutty graininess. Flavor had some rough grain and nut, but also some weird metallic taste. Could have been decent, but ended up below average.

22 oz bottle pours a redish brown with a decent head and little lacing. Nutty caramel flavor with a slightly hoppy finish. Very good.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is medium to dark brown. Aroma is moderately malty (caramel, roasted nuts), with a note of brown sugar. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, lively/fizzy carbonation. Not a very pleasant carbonation level/texture (almost like soda-pop), kinda wet and syrupy too. Very simple but somewhat attractive aroma. Needs more bitterness to balance the big sweetness (the nose portends correctly).

Bottle sampled on 9/20/06: Pours a clear amber brown with a thin ring of light tan head. Aroma of mildly earthy toasty malts and some light doughy character. Flavor is drier than expected with some toasty earthy presence and some slight cardboardy character. Needs more sweetness for balance.
