Alaskan Brewing Co. - Heritage Coffee Brown Ale
Beer Type: American Brown Ale - 7.00% ABV
Appearance: 12oz brown bottle labeled in the normal Alaskan style. Man I really dislike their font logo. Beer pours a dark amber/brown color with a thin head that didn't hang around.
Smell: Mostly I am getting a lot of malt as you would typically expect of a brown ale. Maybe just a bit of coffee in there too.
First Drink: Malt and sweetness followed by a slight coffee bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Thin but smooth and a bit sticky.
Last Drink: More sweet malt flavors with very little coffee.
Drinkability: Reminds me of another popular brown ale out there... *coughNEWCASTLEcough*
Notes: First time I had this was on draft and I have to say I liked it much better. It had a bit more creamy body. Bottled it seems a bit thin and bland. Easy drinking though.
Verdict: 3.75 out of 5. If you enjoy brown or coffee ales give it a try.
