[Tap] At Humpy’s in mid-September. Pours an average amber color with a quickly receding head. Aroma of caramel malts, hazelnut, mild vanilla and grass. Toasted malts, biscuits, sticky caramel and light brown sugar in the taste. Roasted nutty notes are also evident. The mouthfeel is well above average for the style, which is a pleasant surprise.

On tap @ brewery. Translucent amber with off white foamy head. Nutty aroma layered over caramel malt base. Flavor is very reminiscent of a hearty Oktoberfest Marzen with walnuts and pecans added for good measure. A strong contender for best amber in Alaska.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft sample at the Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition Festival. Midnight Sun mistakenly brought this and the Ale Slayer instead of the Kodiak Brown Ale and Fallen Angel Golden Ale. Pours a clear, rich amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, toast, grass, grains, and a bit of mixed fruits. Flavor is almost exactly the same, really smooth and malty with some underlying fruitiness. Light-medium bodied, with moderate carbonation and a malty, juicy mouthfeel. Drinks so smooth and easy; well above average amber ale.
