Commercial Description:
Rugged yet smooth, Kodiak Brown Ale sports abundant yet graceful portions of pale and specialty malts, balancing caramel sweetness with a roasted malt character. Perle and Willamette hops accent without overpowering this brown ale's intrepid maltiness. The result is a bit bold but beautifully balanced. That Kodiak Brown Ale is our most popular beer says something about the adventuous spirit found in Alaska. But we are not surprised; we know Alaskans are not afraid of the dark.

Bomber from Liquid Solutions, first beer of the July 4th, shared with Cyn and her parents, while prepping for the party. Pours brown with a 1 finger puffy head. Nose is sweet with hints of caramel. Taste is also sweet and lightly full bodied. Not bad, not amazing.

Big bottle. Dark brown. Frothy head finishes a bit clumpy. Rather light scent. Very good malt taste and full body. Malt is thick and almowt heavy. Lots of chocolate and nut flavour.

Received a 22-oz bomber from LiquidSolutions.biz and shared with MN group. Pours a dark cola brown brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and thin off-white ring. Aroma of roasted dark malts, some citrus zest, chocolate, light caramel and a touch of roasted nuts. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of roasted dark malt, some nuts, and a touch of citrus. Finish is light malty with little bitterness. An average brown ale best describes this ale.

A pretty decent and well made brown ale overall. Has a rich kind of moist feeling in the mouth, like biting into a fresh piece of chocolate cake, lots of rich caramel, and a sloid well balanced structure. A great session ale.

Thanks to Skyview! Dark brown color with a thin head. Aroma is slightly reminicent of Lysol. Nutty flavor and lots of dry malt. There is a kind of ’freshness’ on the finish... Kind of like the cool burning of wintergreen, but not the wintergreen flavor.

impressively dark, but the flavor falls flat. smells nutty, tastes malty, not much to say

Appearance: Pours a dark chestnut brown body with a small, light beige head. Smell: Malty aroma predominately of toasted nuts, but with lesser notes of caramel and chocolate. Taste: Brown maltiness brings out a flavor of earthy, toasted nuts with a subtle caramel sweetness. Splash of chocolate water. Slight hint of fruit. Again, there’s not much hopwise going on beyond a little light bitterness. Quick finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A pleasant, mild, and quite drinkable brown ale.

22 oz. bottle - pours clear reddish brown with no head; aromas come off stale with a mix of malts and brown sugar; light bodied with very mild flavors; not too much going on with this brown
