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.

Draft sample at the brewery 7/8/05: Very dark brown with a nice firm head (although it subsided quickly). Bountiful coffee nose. Woody bitterness makes this an awesome drinker.

On draft in Seward. Black with tan head, aroma I would expect given the name, and flavors that balanced quite well. Pretty moderate on the coffee and chocolate, sweet and smooth.

A very nice porter. Pour is pretty deep black with a decent head. Aroma is coffee, hazelnut, a bit of warm malt. Flavor is overwhelmingly coffee but very nice, refreshing, smooth. I’m glad I get to be the one to push this fine to beer to 10 ratings.

This smells a lot like coffee, but not too strong at all - just right. Also, definitely has lots of coffee flavoring, and perhaps some chocolate, but mostly coffee. If you like coffee and dark beers, this may be the beer you give a 5.

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

22oz bottle from Belmont Station. Black pour with a huge dark tan head of lacy cream. The aroma is rich chocolate and coffee. Not that pleasent of a mix. I’ve definitely tasted better blends of these two flavors. The tastes are actually much better. The twang goes away in the taste. It gets better the more I drink. It is appropriately lighter than a stout and easy to drink.

#600 - Space black, tan creamy head. Nose was definitely espresso-like, but more complex notes of chocolate, nuts, and vanilla shine through as it warmed. Flavor up front was wet coffee grounds, a bit more chocolate, nuts and vanilla, but in comes a light hop bitterness late to keep it decently balanced. Medium bodied and smooth, soft carbonation, bittersweet finish. Good complex brew that would make for a decent session event. Thanks again to Gary at MS for sending this brew my way...
