Midnight Sun Espresso Stout - Yukon Brewing Company

6.2%...Just putting that out there...



So, lets get down to business. There is a coffee company in the Yukon (Midnight Sun Coffee Roasters) and a brewery (see the title) and they had a fun idea one day and combined forces to make something crazy. This is it.

Let's start with the nose: Molasses....That's...that's all we wrote down...note to self, hire a trained scribe monkey

Colour: Obsidian. It sucks light into it, Nothing gets thru it.

Taste: Slight coffee with a hop to it.

After – Fucking explodes with coffee and hops.

After After: Bitter coffee beer

Not a very heavy beer, despite the colour. The hops is different too, it's not dry, you have the hop experience, but your mouth is still moist feeling

As we go along, the coffee 'explosion' lessons. It's still there, just less. Not to worry, the beer picks up some of the slack. It's saying “Hey, I'm still cool” and it really is.

It turns into a headless black liquid, but the carbonation remains. You can't see any bubbles (due to the impenetrable blackness) but you can still taste/feel them.

**Please note that at this point the notes sort of start to fall apart and there are far more cock doodles than is typical...**

Jake – 9/10 – Good Jazz. Enjoyable all around. The last sip is a little mild, but it was good

Two Shoes – 9/10 – You like coffee, you like beer? You'll like this.

Rolland – 8/10 – If you like coffee...very coffee-ish

One Nut Joe – 2/10 – I don't know about this...left over Timmies after 3 days...

The KPF Ninja – Ughhhh!!/10 – Ughhhhh!!!

And then it seems like 5 grown adults starting talking about jammy pants to a degree that we have notes on it...

Really...

Why do these things even get written down??
