Commercial Description:
To the experienced beer enthusiast, the style moniker "Stout" is synonymous with "diversity." While all Stouts share in common a "midnight oil" type of blackness, the flavor permutations existent within this family of beers is incredible. Export Stouts, generally, are rich and roasty, medium-high in alcohol strength, and sporting a fairly pronounced hop character. The fundamental complexity of Baird Midnight Oil Export Stout derives from a malt base consisting of Maris Otter Pale Ale, North American Wheat, and English Caramel, Chocolate and Roast Barley varieties. The flavor result is a tangy, oily, toasty and roasty carnival of pleasure. A wonderfully spicy hop bouquet punctuates the flavor experience as an exclamation point does a sentence. If you want to be exported to beer bliss, Midnight Oil is your ticket!

Black with a hefty tan head. Roasted malts, some coffee, cocoa, some dark fruit, and mulch. Flavor is full of dark roasted malts, coffee, cocoa, a bit oily, and the earthy mulch shows up for a brief instant. Full bodied and proper stout carbonation. A very nice stout.

Draught at Popeye, Tokyo. Black with a creamy tan head. Chocolate and espresso both in the nose and in the mouth. A good strong stout, no doubt.

Bottle sampled on 9/15/07: Pours a nearly opaque with ruby mahogany hues and a spotty-lacing tan head. Aroma of smoky roasty dark malts and some dark chocolatey notes. Body starts with good dark caramel sweetness and a touch of earthy chocolatey complexity and a smooth chocolate and espresso finish. A nice stout.

Poured a very clear dark golden brown color. Mild chocolate aroma with some roast. The flavor was dull with light chocolate and roasted notes. Light body.

Thanks to daijokey for bringing this to JoeMcphee’s place for CaptainCougar come to NY gathering. Completely black color. Aroma is strong roast with choclate hints. A very espresso feel all around. Taste is a bit watery with roast. Otherwise very average stout. This really isn’t a "foreign" stout, more like a regular stout.
