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!

1L bottle. Poured a clear, very deep brown with a tall, well-retained toffee/beige head and some nice lacing... just beautiful! Nose carried an immense roasted malt character... full of freshly-ground espresso beans and dark chocolate... woodiness and earth round it out. Flavor was of deep and rich roasted espresso and dark chocolate... coffee and earth bitterness rode around the tongue and through the long espresso finish. Full, rich, and roasty on the palate with well-placed bitterness. Excellent brew!

Deep and dark with a nice and frothy, tan head. Great mouthfeel; smooth and rich and creamy. Big dark chocolate and coffee, with sprightly nips of molasses. Healthy amount of bitterness balanced things out well. Muscular, yet suave. Good stuff.

Dark roasted malt, straw and earthy flavor, coffee and moderate acidity, bitter dark chocolate. Dark bodied, smooth and dry palate.

Bottle. Dark clear brown, small beige head. Aroma is slightly burnt coffee, licorice, very warm and nice. Taste is lots of chocolate, bitter malts. Medium bodied, should be a little bigger. Drawn out bitter finish, reallly nice. Very fine beer.
