On tap at Glacier Brewhouse, Anchorage. Deep murky opaque garnet body, thin-medium tan head. Potent, inky nose with significant oak, bourbon, molasses, licorice, chocolate, and dark fruits. Body dominated by tannic oak and bourbon, with mild chocolate and coffee flavors that are mostly overwhelmed by the aging process. The base beer is too light to carry the oak, but I still enjoyed the beer.

From a 64oz growler flown back from Alaska and given to me by a friend. Poured into a shaker. Color is a hazy golden orange. Small amount of bright white head that slowly dissipates and leaves good lacing. Aroma is heavily hoppy. Citrus and grassy. Also slightly fruity. Mandarin orange or apricot. Taste is heavily bitter. Lightly sweet and lightly sour on the aftertaste. Medium to almost full bodied, it has a oily and slick texture. Soft carbonation and a long bitter finish. Overall, it’s a pretty damn good beer. This would be perfect with a big plate of BBQ and a side of tater salad. If I ever make it up to Alaska, I’ll definitly have to stop in this place and try it again. Good thing I still have 50oz of goodness left in the growler!
