P3 = third planet from The *Midnight* Sun
Mother Earth is the rich fertile “living” planet. Our Earth combines pale and dark malts for essential body. Cocoa nibs—decadent chocolate in its most elemental form—add distinction. Lush lactose creates incredible creaminess. But Earth gains amazing ground with extensive aging on Bergerfield extra dark cocoa.
LOGISTICS LOG:
incorporate rich earthy flavors of dark malted barley, cocoa nibs and powder, and Belgian yeast. increased creaminess with lush lactose. primary fermentation and aging in stainless steel vessel. conditioning achieved in bottle and cask. much more research required. .

Bottle thanks to AmEricanbrew. Dated 5.9.2008. Pours with a dark brown body and a fluffy white head. Aroma is earthy (hahaha), strong coffee, slightly spicy with vanilla. Taste is earthy, with chocolate, spicy coffee and a bit of dirt. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel.

Thanks to beerbill for sharing - kind of pours looking like cola, but it kicks up a sizable lace - the aroma is explosively chocolaty, with a bit of doughy character, and a touch of roast - medium bodied, full carbonation - semi-sweet flavor, with a bit of cocoa dryness - a tiny bit of dark fruit is the only thing vaguely belgian about this - mostly a straightforward chocolate stout, but a decent one.

Yet another Alaskan beauty from Gillard. Pours deep blackness and with full mocha head. The aroma is roasty, chocolate, burnt malts, toastiness and dry lactose. The taste has sweet maltiness to start followed by solid roasted malts blending seamlessly into burnt malts and spoon full of lactose. Lots of solid notes for such a sessionable brew. Burnt malts linger deep into the after taste. Very nice stout.

bottle at Ft Wayne locals tasting - Pours dark brown with an ample head. It has a dark roast malt aroma with some chocolate. The roast malt is accented by a mild bitter chocolate flavor and just a slight hint of fruitiness. It’s a little thin bodied for the style, but still a pretty good brew. Thanks for bringing us another Alaskan brew, jsquire.
