Commercial Description:
Hearty northern people love a hearty stout beer. We've teamed up wtih Yukon's famous Midnight Sun Coffee Roaster to create this special blend. Originally developed for "Bean Queen" Zola Dore in a small batch kettle system by Yukoner Mitt Stehelin, we've retained the artisan qualities of this unique, unfiltered brew. The robust taste of this hearty stout starts with the smooth glide of real espresso and finishes with a dry chocolatey malt flavour. Why the big bottle? You'll love it so much, you'll want to share it with a friend, or not!

Immediately after pour I could smell the intense coffee aroma. Obviously the flavour is centralized around coffee, however I found it to be quite thin. While I do appreciate lower alcohol, it needs a more balanced flavour to compete with it’s obvious superiour- Peche Mortel.

Bottle. Pours clear black, with a thin tan head that requires a fairly aggressive pour to form, then reduces to a ring quite quickly. Lacing is spotty at best. Nose is hot metal, mild coffee, some dark fruit and black chocolate. Feels a bit light and hollow. Palate is bigger than anticipated, nice coffee note, sweet caramel/chocolate as you approach the finish. It’s thin, but otherwise not bad. Unremarkable.

Smell is not too strong, which I expect a stout to be. Smells of bitter coffee, like an old pot sitting around too long. Quite dark, not too much head or lacing. STRONG coffee taste, fairly strong malt flavour, quite bitter at the end. There is a lingering coffee flavour in your mouth, again bitter like old coffee. The coffee in the malt doesn’t really come out in the brew like I would have expected. NOTE: I was just drinking WR Oatmeal Stout from a party pig in my fridge, so this could be a bit biased

Pours black with a tall thich brown head. Strong aroma of caffee and roasted malts. The flavour is great bold and full with lots of malt and coffee. the finish lingers like a cup of coffee that is too strong. this is a hell of a stout.

bottle from SAQ. drank out of pint glass. pours a pitch black with a moka coloured head that gives nice lacing. aroma is of coffee, roasted malts, prune and raisins. full rich flavour, loads of coffee and smooth as can be. a very good stout that surprised me, coming from the yukon and all. expensive, but definately worth the try.

Nice dark black color headed by a not much foamy beige-green cloud. Aroma full of coffee and roastiness. Sweet vanilla hints and mocha coat the expresso taste. Great bitterness. It’s all finishing by a quick chocolate aftertaste. Very good.

341 mL Bottle sampled Dec 26, 2009. Deep brown-black body with a small frothy pale brown head that settles to a ring leaving some lace. Full rich aroma toasted malts, roasted coffee beans, and subtle hints of prunes and raisins. Full rich flavor of toasted malts, black coffee; prunes and raisins come through in the aftertaste and finish. Delicious! Smooth, almost Guinness-like in the mouth.
