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.

(bottle thanks Skyview) Pours black with a tan head. Nice aromas of dark roasted coffee and roasted malts. Taste is also the same with a nice long lasting roasted finish.

Black with deep brown highlights and a large, thick, brown head. Enjoyable aroma of cofee, molasses, roasted malts, chocolate, and sweet malts. I wish it was a little more blended, but nice. Body is a little on the thin side. Flavor is roasted malts, coffee beans, chocolate, and a hint of metallic. An enjoyable porter, heavy on the coffee. Could go for a thicker body, and a little more complexity in the flavor. Overall a fine brew.

Picked up a 22-oz bomber from Liquid Solutions in Oregon. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a decent tan head that has a slow dissolve and good retention. Aroma of freshly brewed dark coffee, a touch of chocolate and dark roasted malt. Taste is medium to full bodied, very low carbonation with falvors of dark malt and an over-powering coffee flavor. Finish is semi-dry, smooth and a nice coffee aftertaste. No bitterness detected in this fine brew.

This beer has the coolest beer name of all time. Black and low carbonation. Very smooth palate. Aroma and flavor is mild coffee, served cold. Thanks to Skyview for shaing.

Jet black with little head. Very nice, fresh coffee aroma with chocolate. Smokey, cocoa and coffee flavor. Thin in body. This is really reminiscent of drinking cold coffee. Low bitterness and no hop flavor.

Smells delicious. I know this is a coffee porter but I smell chocolate. Sort of weak palate and flavor but really improves as it warms up. Especially the coffee flavor. I think this could be great if it were a tad bigger and richer. 5% seems a bit weak. But still another solid solid brew from Midnight Sun.
