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!

Opaque black body, thick looking. Thin, rapidly diminishing tan head. Roasted malt, chocolate and coffee dominate the aroma, with hints of caramel, sugar. Flavor is much the same and not as impressive as the nose. Finishes robustly bitter and medium dry, chocolate and coffee bean grittiness lingering. Palate is medium bodied, moderately dry and exceedingly bitter at times. Decent stout, quite earthy throughout. The aroma was the only part of this that was truly memorable.

Pours opaque dark brown with a light brown head. Has a very distinct coffee aroma. A bit of a coffee taste, along with some caramel malt taste. Big espresso aftertaste. Gives ya a big wallop of caffeine buzz! I’m not a coffee drinker, this had me jittering all night.

Bottle sampled on 7/2/06 thanks to TheBeerCellar2: Pours a clear mostly opaque black with a frothy ring of tan head. Aroma has lots of coffee and caramel and roasty malt notes with some good dark chocolate. Body starts with a full, sweet caramel malty palate and good roasty coffee balance with a smooth dark chocolatey finish. A nice, flavorful coffee stout.

1 Litre bottle brought back from Canada by my mother-in-law - Pours a dark brown color with a one finger thick light tan head. Very light spotty lacing. Has a dusty, roasted coffee aroma. Flavor is mainly coffee with a hint of chocolate. Has a dry palate and medium body. A good beer.

1 liter flip top bottle acquired in trade with boutip (thanks for this great beer and letting me get another hard to get Canadian Province!). Poured a dark black with brown edges and an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of vanilla, coffee, and roast. Tastes of vanilla, cocoa, coffee, and roast. Reminded me of a cup of coffee with creamer added (both the aromas and tastes). Smooth and creamy body. I enjoyed drinking the whole liter at Christmas dinner!
