[At GABF 2004, Vintage 2003] A hazy copper colored beer with a lasting orange head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy. The flavor sweet malty with distinct notes of hops - as well as notes of oranges slices dipped in sugar. The alcohol is very well hidden - it can only be felt on the tongue.

Dark brown, almost black body. Lovely smoked aroma. Nice rich, strong, smoked taste. Long aftertaste with dark chocolate and coffee. A very nice beer for relaxing moments.

Dark brown coloured body a nice tan head. Aroma of smoked peat and about nothing else. Medium-bodied; Full smokey flavour with a nice full taste. Aftertaste smokey and dark. Overall, great to drink and very nice to be able to sample. Thanks to EyedrinkAle for this beer! I sampled this 65 cL bottle after the RB party at Founder’s in Alexandria, Virginia at Mike’s (the_beer_god) hotel room on 20-November-2004.

Bottle Pours a nearly black, very viscous with a medium foamy light brown head. This receded farily quickly and the lacing is coarse and blocky. The aroma is a very inviting sweet, molassas, chocolate and black licorice. Flavors are similar but a bit more smokey. A bit sour and somewhat dry for a sweet stout. Some hops here and a smooth feel but not particularly thick. Carbonation is quite lively. Finish is a slightly bitter smokey flavor.

Bottle Pours a sparkling clear red/amber with a short fizzy head. Can't even maintain a little white skin so no real lacing. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Piney,apples, grapes, plums maybe. Flavor is a nice surprise. A bit fruity, spicy, raisons, ...busy. The spruce is not as obvious as I feared. The ABV is a touch high, you can tell. Feel is quite thin and somewhat watery, and the carbonation is very soft. Only a slight grassy aftertaste with just a trace of hops. Interesting twist.

On Tap at Kahootz A clear pale yellow/golden with a small white head with not much lacing. Aroma was very faint as was the flavors. Wheat, with doughy nd yeast notes..but very subdued. Slightly sweet as well. Feel was very light and smooth. Easy drinking, fairly tasty.

Another gift from the mother-in-law after an Alaskan cruise. The beer is a dark brownish but clear color with a medium and creamy beige head. Thin lacing. The aroma is nicely malted and toasty. Medium-bodied and smooth, with malt, caramel and nut flavors in varying degrees. Light hop finish. Overall not the best Alt available but I was impressed enough that I would get it again.

Alaskan Summer, huh? What’s next, Jamaican Winter beer? But seriously folks, this beer was a nice surprise from the mother-in-law who went on an Alaskan cruise. It’s great to have everyone you know trained to look for beer any time they travel. The Free Willy scene on the label is interesting too. As for the beer, it is a clear light orange color with a thin white head. Very little lacing. The aroma is light citrus and hops. Light and crisp mouthfeel, with sweet fruit, malt and hops flavors. Citrus comes in again with the finish, with a bit of lingering caramel. Overall this is a decent Kölsch.

Bottle 2001 Pours black with a medium size dark tan head. This goes down pretty quick but the lacing is fine and even. Aroma is very chocolate and Smoke, mesquite axactually. Also some licorice and molassas. Wow, taste is VERY Smokey. Can’t taste much hops...or much of anything else. Feel is moderately thick and the finish is creamy and smooth. A specialized beer for a specific taste. Good Stuff.
