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 at the Cuvee de Castleton release at Captain Lawrence. Pours black with a thin tan head. Coffee and roast on the nose, and slightly astringent. Thin to medium and roasty. Finishes with more roast and a light bitterness.

Coffee. Roasty aroma and flavor. Not very thick or chewy. Not as thick as I would like it to be. Faint taste of vanilla. Good, but my expectations were high so I wanted more.

6/12/2009: Midnight Sun Arctic Rhino Coffee Porter has a roasty aroma with coffee and cream. The flavor is also roasty with a yeasty middle and a finish that reminds me of burnt coffee or like coffee that has been sitting in the pot too long. This beer has a dark coffee-brown color, a foamy tan-colored head, and an average mouthfeel. It is good overall, but nothing really special or memorable enough to even want another...

22 Fl. Oz. bottle (5.0% Alcohol by Volume - 20 IBUs; Month & Week Bottled: APR 1) from Three Bears in Seward, Alaska. Rating #174 for this beer.

On tap at the brewery. The name says it all. This pours dark. The nose is of coffee grounds and is nice. I don’t even like coffee. The taste is of dark roasted malt and coffee. Thin body, almost watery. Not bad for a coffee beer.

22oz from trade with kersta8. Pours dark black with a fizzy tan head. Nose is coffee, spice, and some dark, bitter chocolate. Flavor is a lot of coffee, some bitter chocolate, and a moderate amount of spice. Roast lingers in this medium-bodied porter. Interesting and balanced beer.

Bomber courtesy of markwise. Pours a murky dark brown to black with a huge one finger tan head that settles slowly but laces the glass. Aroma is malty and roasty with notes of coffee, chocolate, cooked veggies, ripe dark fruit, peas, toffee and lighter notes of caramel and light spice. Flavor is sweet and roasty with coffee, caramel, chocolate, brown sugar, coffee beans. Generaly medium to full body with pleasing malty coffee finish.

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.
