May 25, 2009 22 oz. bottle via trade with scrizzz - Pours a dark brown color with a thin tan head that didn’t last long. Light spotty lacing. Aroma is toasted malt and coffee. Well, the flavor is pretty much the same. Body and mouthfeel are a little light. The beer comes around nicely as it warms. A decent coffee beer. Thanks Clint.

May 18, 2009 This beer was really really thin and carbonated. glad I only paid 5 bucks for it. Really was a drain pour. just did not do it for us. tasty like day old coffee and bitter.

May 8, 2009 Alright, my first Alaskan beer. Pours dark brown with a thick tan head. Nice coffee aroma. I thought it had more aroma than actually coffee flavor for me. Was a decent porter though with some chocolate and sweetness as well.

Apr 26, 2009 Sampled at DLD 09. Brown pour with tan head. Nice coffee aroma. Flavor is more coffee, some chocolate, a bit nutty. Overall, pretty tasty, though not that awesome.

Apr 18, 2009 Shared by VFerg a while back. Descent coffee flavor went well with the porter. Nothing over the top here. Descent.

Apr 4, 2009 22 oz. Near black pour, average sized light cream head. Really sweet malty aroma with hints of coffee and caramel. I really did not get the coffee in the smell of this one. Peaty with malty toffee/caramel sweetness. Chocolate and coffee bitter balances the sweetness out nicely. Finishes pretty abrupt with not much lingering. A bit thin, but all around good drinkable porter. I think I would have enjoyed this a bit more had I not had a Victory at Sea Vanilla Bean Porter previous to it. That had some really strong flavors that drown this out a bit. If this was available locally, I could see myself drinking this often as a session brew.

Mar 27, 2009 Thanks for sharing, bro! C’mon Ross......this is ancient! Pours a pitch black with medium mocha head. Aroma is cardboard, some plastic, stale dry coffee grounds. Taste is much the same. Didn’t hold up well.....pretty dry and lame.

Mar 27, 2009 Thanks for the trade Ross. 2008 bottle, I’m not sure as the notch is a bit off. Aroma is strangely similar to the Viking Hot Chocolate. Aroma is slight chocolate, old stale gas station coffee. Taste is hot herbs, chocolate, stale coffee and light hops. I think this isn’t the beste interpretation of the beer due to the age and coffee not holding up well. However, still glad I got to try some Midnight Arctic Rhino. BTW, where is my Doggie claws?
