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!

Bottle. Black pour with small brown head. Aroma is coffee with some maltiness to it. Taste is good lots of coffee here with a good bitterness just a wee bit watery. Mouthfeel is disapointing, way too watery I was expecting/wanted something much creamier, carbonation is good at least. This is ok.

341ml bottle, best by Nov 2009, with another thanks to Glouglouburp for the bonus! Pours dark brown with a moderate tan head. Aroma is a little earthy, with espresso, cocoa, and roasted malts. Flavor is nicely creamy, with more earthy coffee, roasted malts and chocolate. This one was not overly complex but quite enjoyable, thanks again Dany!

341 ml bottle from Levis SAQ. Pours a virtually black colour with a small brwon head. Very strong aroma of coffee, roast and chocolate. Flavour has notes of coffee and roasted malt. Flavour is thinner than nose might make one suspect. Nice beer.

Bottle. Small creamy head. Strong coffee aroma, alcohol is also noticeable in the aroma, wich is surprising for a stout that is not that strong in alcohol. Roasted malt, coffe and nuts. Alcohol still noticeable. Not bad, but not the best stout there is !

Nice bitter coffee aroma and some burnt malt. Flavor is a little thin the aroma is much more full on the coffee notes. It’s a good stout but it’s just a regular coffee stout. The mill street coffee porter is still my go to coffrr beer.

341ml bottle from SAQ. Pours black with a small creamy head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate. Hints of vanilla and coffee. Taste is dark chocolate with hints of coffee and some alcohol. Small bitterness. Quite mild overall. Aroma is much better than the taste. It still is a good beer though.

12-oz. Thanks, Glouglouburp! Pours black with very dark brown highlights. Loose, bubbly light tan film on top. Big coffee nose. There is absolutely no mistaking the inspiration for the name of this one--should come with a coupon for bacon and eggs in the six-pack. Creamy medium body. Some carb there, but subdued enough to integrate very subtly. Roasty, coffeeish mid-palate. Long dry finish.
