Alaskan Stout

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

Bottle. Pours black with a lasting beige head. Aroma is milky, roasted, with chocolate and black malt. Flavor starts with vanilla and dry chocolate, then moves towards roasts and smoke bitterness in the finish. Really well blended. Palate is a touch thin, but with a smooth mouthfeel. Aftertaste has bittersweet chocolate and ash. Nice beer by Alaskan.

Pours a dark almost black with a tan head. Aroma of sweet roasted malts. Taste is great, roasted malts and chocolate, with very very light coffee notes. Very smooth and creamy mouthfeel. A rich finish an overall great filling beer.

Pours a deep almost black color with a espresso swirl head and very little lace. Aromas of dried fruits, some plum, some raisin, coco, and some chocolate milk. Flavor is very nice, some coffee, licorice, a subtle fruitiness. This is drier than it is sweet, with a good but mild hop kick. I’m not terribly sure about the style designation, but I guess it’s creamy and has some chocolate flavors.

Thanks douglas. Pours a dark black allowing some light. Head is two fingers thick, creamy, light tan. The nose is a tad rusty, mellow, not very forward, some old chocolate. The flavor is mildly roasty, milk chocolate, crisp, shows a light grainy bitterness, lightly sweet. Great mouthfeel, creamy/velvety. Low carbonation. Feels great in the mouth if nothing else.

Bottle poured a translucent deep dark brown nearly black with a creamy lasting brown head. Aromas of dark chocolate, roasted malt, coffee and a hint of licorice. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth with a watery finish. Flavors of roasted malt, bitter chocolate and light coffee with a smooth dry watery roasty finish.

Poured deep opaque black, two finger head and nice lacing. Caramel, roasted malts and coffee were clear on the nose. Taste was similar, and the oats added some depth to the character. Some sweet chocolate and molasses also came through. Medium body and carbonation, and a pleasantly sweet aftertaste.

(bottle from B&B Liquor in Colorado Springs). Pours a black color. Medium tan head. Smoky malt aroma. Roasted malt flavor. Smooth finish. Moderate carbonation.

Bottle from Denver. Pitch black foamy brownish head. Somewhat roasty and sweet aroma. Taste is very sweet - almost a little too much so. Very bittersweet chocolate. Not something I could drink a lot of but it is ok.
