Dec 18, 2007 Very nice beer! Soapy tan head. Jet black color. Aroma of malts and yeast. Taste of malts, some hops, cherry, some citrus. Would love to have this again!

Dec 18, 2007 Bottle shared at Madness. Poured a deep dark black with a light beige creamy head. Very sweet aroma of roasty malt, slight citrus, yeast and dark bread. Medium bodied with lively bubbly carbonation. Sweet flavor of dark fruit, light roastiness, maltiness, yeast and slight tobacco on the after taste. Good stuff, it would of been worlds easier for me to find this if I wrote down that it was made by Midnight Sun.

Dec 17, 2007 sampled at YEHA. pretty dark brown in color with a small but long lasting head. Aroma: raisins, caramel, musty yeast, spices. Taste- dark fruit and caramel, musty yeast and spices. medium rich body with some light notes of alcohol, pretty well hidden overall though. Finishes with a nice sweetness on the tongue and lingering fruit....

Dec 17, 2007 Updated: Dec 18, 2007Man this is good. So rich and creamy. Different for and AD but real nice. Sweet, malty, caramel, rich sugary fruits and molasses. Nice head and retains well. Dark in color with a lighter fluffy dense almost nitro head. Beatiful and delicious. Thanks SamuraiArtist.

Dec 16, 2007 Bottle received in a recent trade with SamuraiArtist. Thanks Ezra! This was a nice copy of a traditional abbey dubbel. Some dark fruits, belgiany esters, brown sugar, and a little bit of chocolate. Alcohol well hidden. Midnight Sun continues to impress.

Dec 2, 2007 Poured from a 22 oz. bottle. Pours very close to black with a light brandy shading around the edge. Chocolate covered bananas, mint and clove on the nose; very pungent, and surprisingly funky in its spicy presentation. Smooth sweetness in burnt caramel and vanilla provide a syrupy backdrop. Initial flavor of ashen coffee grounds and cola bitterness; very dark with powerful black licorice and caramelized onion sweetness, which provides an awesome, unique temperament to complement the more normal tones of banana esters, peppermint, and pear. Dry, woodsy bitterness frames a kind of elusive maple and nutty sweetness; hazelnut, bark, hints of raspberry and even strawberry. Full, generous, and smooth mouthfeel; finishes with drying earthy sweetness and a remnant of berry syrup. Roasty, bold, lovely. Thanks for sharing, Ken!

Dec 2, 2007 22oz bottle. Pours a very dark, clear cola color; significant, dark khaki-colored head with excellent retention and medium-bubbled lacing; a very attractive pour. Chewy brown sugar and cola in the aroma; a bit one-dimensional in the dry brown-sugariness. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: plenty of dry brown sugar and cola upfront, with a chewy dried fruit presence and some spiciness; a very dense, generous dubbel that (I’ve heard) will benefit with some time. Lengthy, brown sugar and cola in the finish; a tasty yeast presence throughout.
