Commercial Description:
Inspired by local artist & roaster Michael Allen's eccentricly-named blend of coffee beans, Midnight Sun's brewers designed a beer recipe and infusion process that perfectly captures the alluring aroma, satisfying flavor and curious legend of Allen's Arctic Rhino Coffee. Arctic Rhino Coffee Porter combines two quintessential Pacific Northwest favorites: coffee and ale. The result is wonderfully romantic and robust--a duel-fueled porter that melds charismatic dark malt with freshly roasted coffee beans. The (un)rest is up to you.

Pours dark with tannish head. Slight aroma with coffee barely noticable. Palate is very light for a porter and slight coffee tatse lingers in the aftertaste. Very smooth, goes down too easy, pretty weak beer actually. Tastes somewhat watered down. Overall I was disappointed I thought this beer would be more in your face and it turned out to be just the opposite

On tap. Dark brown with tan head. Smells of coffee, chocolate, and roasted grains. Very smooth taste with a mild coffee flavor. I usually only drink "beer flavored beer" with no adjuncts, but this one is an exception. Well done.

Black as coal with a medium tan head. Strong cofffe aroma with a roasty character (just like walking into a coffee house on a chilly fall morning. Taste is also of coffee. Body is slightly thin.

On tap at the brewery July 11. I truly appreciated this although I am not a coffee drinker. Nice and roasty with chocolate. Very easy to drink, I can see how someone working 3rd shift might want one of these after work for breakfast!

Bomber. Dark brown pour with a few centimeters brown head. Only a slight bit of coffee in the aroma. Not nearly as much as expected or hoped for. Roasted malt and chocolate also present. A little too carbonated. This is the type of beer for people who like to buy designer coffee drinks at coffee shops.

Bomber. Pours translucent dark brown with a thin but dense and lacy tan head. Big aroma and taste of coffee, cocoa, brown sugar. Medium-light body, medium carbonation. Crisp and refreshing espresso finish.
