Grizz
Alaskan Brewing Co.

12oz can. Poured out a clear, brown color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of roasted coffee, chocolate and malt. Bitter coffee taste with chocolate, toffee and roasted caramel malt.

 

Brown in color with vibrant carbonation bubbles within the body. There’s a three quarter inch head of dense brown foam on top. The aroma is of a moderate amount of dark roasted coffee. I am tasting dark roasted coffee and toasted nuts. The mouth is lightly oily and dry.

 

12oz can. Smudged date stamp on bottom for best by, but the year is 2024.
Amber brown colored body. One finger of light khaki head, and this sticks around as a cap and high ring. Leaves behind a few small lacing spots.
Aroma is dark roasted coffee and medium roasted malts. Light cream and chocolate.
Taste is sweet roasted malts but the dark coffee is bitter, which lingers into the aftertaste. Also features vanilla and chocolate.
Thinner mouth feel. Quick through the mouth. Good carbonation.
Extremes of sweetness and bitterness, which makes for an odd combination.

Okay, how am I the first to rate this???

Pours a dark amber/light hazel with one finger of tan head. Some head retention & lacing

S: Coffee & cream

T: Follows the nose, certainly a sweet cream follow up, plus nuttyness, dryness & woody hops, plus some roasty notes up front. Plenty of roasty coffee, dryness, hazelnut cream & woody hops as this beer warms through. Finishes dry, roasty & plenty of coffee & a little vanilla hazelnut sweetness

MF: Medium body, slight carbonation, skews roasty

If you like your beers coffee-forward, this is a good mash-up. Not a quick drinker by any means
