Alaskan Heritage Coffee Brown Ale

Sample in the Alaskan tap room. This beer is a mostly clear brownish-amber color with a medium beige head that has decent retention. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt and nuts. Medium, smooth body with roasted coffee, malt and caramel flavors with some hops in the background. The finish is mild coffee with a lingering roastiness. Pretty good overall.

on tap @ Humpy’s - I was excited when I heard they were releasing this again. I thought I might never have a chance to try it. Pours a amberish brown color, with some ruby highlights, and a small creamy head. Slightly roasted malty aroma, with some caramel highlights, and a bit of malty sweetbness, followed by some coffee roastiness that I found to be somewhat tame, I was expecting a little more robust bitterness. A decent effort.

On tap at Humpy’s. Confirmed three times by the bar tender that this was a beer made by Alaskan Brewing Co. Was surprised since I had not hear of it before. Pours a translucent ruby amber/brownish with a smaller off white lacing head. Aroma of coffee ice cream, some malty sweetness, light roasted malts. Flavor of the same with more nuttiness, hints of coffee, malty sweet yet on the thin side.
