Alaskan Stout

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

12oz. bottle dated 10/19/05. Black color with virtually no head. Mild roasted malt aroma. Flavor of dark roasted malt, dark chocolate and a bit of vinegar. Thin body with low carbonation. Thanks to Swededog for the bottle.

Dark, nearly opaque black with a thin tan head. Subtle roasty dark chocolate aroma. Starts sweet, lightly caramely and slightly oxidized with a touch of butterscotch. Still a nice and enjoyable sweet stout. Thanks to kp for sharing at the Noogfest!

Bottle, labeled "Oatmeal stout". Dark black pour. Dark malty aroma with fruity notes. Sweet malty flavors, some fruitier notes, not dark fruit, and some chocolate.

A black body with no head. The aroma had bourbom, vanilla, pears and cinnamon. I think I got a whiff of smoke. The taste was sweet brown sugar with pears and a hint if chocolate.

Black, with a dark tan head. Prunish, sherryish aroma. First taste is really fruity - raisin, most likely - with note sweet chocolate and coffee to follow.

Bottle: Enjoyed this brew at 55 degrees farenheit. Compliments of Indiana_Red. The Alaskan Stout we tasted had an older label and at the bottom says "Oatmeal stout." I am not a big fan of Oatmeal stouts, but this beats the British classic Young’s in my mind. It poured with a minimal head resulting with soft carbonation. Dark in color with thin lacing. Roasted malts and light hops present. It had the expected thin, oily texture with a half and half mix of an metallic and astringent finish. Other flavors that stood out to me were charcoal followed by a cardboardy aftertaste.

Thin fluffy layer of head across a blackish brown colored stout. The aroma is a roasty chocolate malt with a little coffee in the nose. It lacks a strong delivery, but it has a smooth and easy going chocolate and roasted malt flavoring. Could barely notice the oat and there is a possible chance of bitter hops as well. Also a little creamy, although i would still consider this another "okay" stout for a one time drink.

Bottle: Coffee black, ruby hues, thin beige head, decent lacing.   Sweet & sour aroma, somewhat lactic, a bit of black coffee and very bittersweet chocolate.   Lactic like sourness to start, bittersweet chocolate ending, with a touch of unsweetened coffee.   Moderate body and mouthfeel, not as thick or heavy as I would have expected.   Lingering hop bite on the finish, fairly sourish especially well after the finish.   No my idea of a good sweet stout.
