Midnight Sun Arctic Rhino Coffee Porter

Brewed by Midnight Sun Brewing Company
Style: Porter
Anchorage, Alaska USA

Bottle: Poured a dark brown with a modest tan head and nice lacing. The nose is rich with coffee and heavily roasted malt. Coffee in the name, coffee dominates the flavor. More roasted malt and hints of bittersweet cocoa. Thanks Indiana_Red for sharing.

Aroma is huge malt and coffee bean mix,that is quickly beaten down to a strong coffee bean flavor. Taste is strictly coffee shop bean aroma and roasted malt taste,with a thickish but pleasant coffee bitter taste at the end. Not overpowering ,but a smooth tastey coffee sipper . Have yet to taste a bad Alaskan brew

(Bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a nice cascading large brown head. Aroma of coffee, roastiness, and caramel. Flavor of coffee, smoke, and roasted malt.

Courtesy of puzzl. Thank you, sir. At first the aroma is a touch dusty, but that clears up and cocoa, coffee and chocolate stand out along with some mild roasted malt notes. The body is black and holds a firm and lasting mocha colored head. The first sip seems a bit thin, but the flavor is fairly nice witht he expected coffee/esspresso and chocolate notes and a restrained toasted/roasted malt presence. Gets a touch earthy/dusty again (like the aroma) in the finish, but overall a very pleasant brew.

This porter pours a deep black color from a 22oz bottle. Large to medium sized tan foamy head. Aroma is coffee beans, chocolate and roasted malts. A medium bodied Porter. Malts are coffee, chocolate and roasty. Lots of coffee flavors which linger in the back of your throat. Hops are earthy and floral. There is also a touch of smoke. The coffee flavors along with the roasty malts dominate the flavors in this beer. Nice carbonation. Good balance. Excellent if you like coffee porters and stouts. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter

22oz Bomber
This was a deep dark bevereage with a dark tan head and aq deep aroma of both chocolate and coffee. This was a near perfect batch of brew. The malts where awesome the flavor was near flawless this was a great beverage and had such rich wonderful tastes. GREAT GREAT job....

This beer is a good example on how not to use coffee in beer. On first taste i was blown away by the coffee flavor and kinda liked it. Upon further sips it got really annoyingly cold coffee like, more coffee then beer and very badly made coffee at that. Has a very burnt coffee flavor that overpowers everything else. Could barely drink this after a few gulps. I wonder what their technique was in adding the coffee to brewing? Tastes like they boiled it.

Pretty nice porter, not usually my favorite style, but this had a great fresh coffee taste. Lighter on the palate, sometimes feeling a bit watery, but the the coffee made it seem a bit more complex and not so bland. Nice roastiness with a good balance.
