| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 20, 2003 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. hopdog (5552), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | May 28, 2004 Medium brown in color with a small off white head. Sweet smell, nutty, and brown sugar. Malty flavor with a sourish after taste. Smells better than it tastes. Fizzy body. I could not finish the whole bottle. bu11zeye (5442), Frisco, Texas, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 20, 2007 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. Cletus (5052), Connecticut, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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. Cornfield (4928), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Sep 10, 2004 Updated: Sep 29, 2005Most brown ales taste flat to me, regardless if they’re from tap or bottle (Screw cans!). Kodiak pretty much lived up to my expectations. Not much aroma, not much flavor... not much. It has a hazy brown color, not much head, not many bubbles. There’s a small whiff of caramel in the aroma. The taste... actually better than most. I had a Sam Smith’s recently, and that probably spoiled me for this event.
