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. A dark brown beer with a small, dense, dark beige head. Mostly clear. The aroma has a lovely mocha scent at first, but after a while I’m not really sure how nice it is. There’s some vegetal hints in the back, there’s roasted malts and dark chocolate, but it’s mocha that dominates. It’s a bit thin on the palate, it’s soft and smooth and semi-dry. Mocha, dark chocolate and a little roasted kind of bitterness in the flavor, all lasting for a good while. Overall, a fine brew, but it’s a bit ordinary and it lacks body. Drinks easy though. 150613

Sampled during RBSG. From notes. Coffee, chocolate and caramel dominates. Some odd green coffee thing in there too.

341 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with moderate tan head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of dark chocolate, coconut, and heavily roasted malts. Flavors of watery black coffee, bitter acidic nuts, and roasted barley. A little metallic.

This was poured into a nonic.
The appearance was a pure black color with a creamy to slight tan one finger head. Messy lacing stuck and then slid after a decent amount of warming.
The smell had a large amount of espresso, roasty and bitter. A light sweet milk chocolate balances nicely.
The taste was balanced between the roasty, the sweet and the bitter. Everything just seemed right with the flavor.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with even a slight sessionability about it. A nice roasted espresso coffee bean rolled across my tongue.
Overall, a really nice espresso stout probably showing itself as Yukon’s best one.

Good mix of coffee and barley malt, not all one or the other. Cola brown, thin tan head. Coffee and soil flavor. Light body and astringent. Good intensity of flavor and aroma.
