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.

Enormous beige head (and by enormous i refer to the fact that the initial pour into a pint glass yields approximately 900 parts foam to 1 part liquid. Said liquid, when it finally appears in sufficient quantity, is cloudy red-brown. Aroma is sweet malty, nutty grape (grape nuts?). Taste is medium sweet, nutty and caramel, light grape. Medium, fairly carbonated body.

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.

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.
