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.

Liquid sol. The pour is a nice brown with a one finger brown head. Nice coffee aroma, roasty, sweet mocha. Same in the flavor, very nice coffee flavor, roasty, some grain, well blended coffee flavor. The mouthfeel is average, sits fine in the mouth. Delicious.

bomber from samuraiartist, arigato... HUGE explosive POP when i opened this one up. that was followed by a pour of nothing but foam which wouldn’t go away. thirty minutes later... viscous nearly black pour with a huge cocoa head that lasts what seems like forever. pillowy lacing is left in the glass when it finally does settle down. aroma is lightly ashy malt, spent coffee grounds, cocoa and something floral (hops or yeast?) light astringent flavor is the same with a strange floral characteristic that pops up on occasion. it’s got a nice acidic finish and lingering whole bean aftertaste. full bodied super creamy texture. unremarkable and one dimensional but a treat to finally try...

Opaque with a big tan head. Aroma is very roasty, with almond, coffee, and chocolate. Taste is nice and roasty, with a light and subdued hoppiness with chocolate. Body is a little too carbonated for my liking, but doesn’t take away from the beer.

22 oz. bottle - pours thick and dark with quickly fading tan head; aromas of roasted malts mixed in with a grainy and hay like aroma; nice texture and creamy finish in what is a more ’robust’ porter; coffee influence is very subtle in both aromas and flavors, so in that sense it was slightly disappointing; yet this is a still a very delicious porter

From a 22oz. bottle--Poured a dark brown bubbly body with a small gray head. Nose of strong coffee and bitter sweet hops. Mouth feel is thin and highly carbonated. Flavorful and very very coffee-esque. Left a big lacing in the glass. I expected a little thicker brew, but overall, quite good. Caffeine kept me going well into the night!

Thanks to SamuraiArtist for the bomber. Pours deep brown with a medium head. Aroma of heavy and bitter coffee (roasted) with dark malt and a touch of chocolate. There is some sweetness in the taste; there is some lactose in there. Rich and sticky-sweet mouthfeel. I’m definitely a sucker for coffee brews.
