Alaskan Stout

Brewed by Alaskan Brewing Co
Style: Sweet Stout
Juneau, Alaska USA

dark brown/black pour with tan head that goes away quickly - aroma of roasted malt - taste had complex flavors of roasted malt/chocolate/coffee and a slight cola flavor, very remininscent of a Sam Adams Cream Stout but with more roasted malt - excellent hops/malt balance

12 oz. bottle. Pours an opaque very dark brown with a thick, rich tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate was a bit lighter than I was expecting. Nice roasted malt flavor was well balanced against the bitterness of the hops. The flavors bcame more pronounced as the beer warmed a bit.

12oz bottle- An aroma of malt and cjhocolate ona dark body with a head that retains itself pretty well. A taste of chocolate caramel and malt. Great tasting beer.

had during a trip to alaska. malt and roast, balanced but not bold. enjoyable.

Why make a porter and a stout? The porter far outshone this stout. It wasn’t bad but not great.

Dark red to faded black. Awesome fresh coffee nose. A little thin but made it more drinkable nice bitter taste at the end of the gulp.

This was a good stout with a fairly sweet balance to the usual roasted bitterness. Pour was black with red edges. Aroma was light roasted chocolate and coffee. Flavor was the same with a somewhat sweet finish. Mouthfeel was oily, moderately thick, and lightly carbonated. I’d have it again, but not by way of mail order.

Bottle. Pours a thick mohagany, just a shade away from black, with a thin tan head. The aroma is coffee, caramel, and well-done toast. The flavor has some noble hops up front, along with some roasty coffee and chocolate notes. It then fades to a sugary sweetness and a strange fuzziness. The finish is very smooth, for it is here where the oats kick in. There is just a passing hint of cola, then it gives way to an ashiness that holds through to the aftertaste with some residual sweetness. Ok, but I’ve had better.
