Jun 25, 2007 RBSG 2007. Black color with no head. A little roasted malt aroma. Vaguely sweet roasted malt taste. Very plain, unfortunately.

Jun 12, 2007 As the style on the bottle would imply; this beer is black. A
tan mocha colored head is full and tight but fades quickly and
leaves little lace.
Spicey lending toward a soapy quality aroma with dark caramel
malts. Not a lot going on aromas wise however it is not bad
smelling. Dark fruit of black currant, burnt blackberry,
roasted plums, and some dark chocolate. Would be higher but
everything is really laid back.
As much as I love the other Midnight Sun beers I’ve tried this
one just doesn’t seem to meet the standards. Now it is good
but I expected more. Roasty bitter dark chocolate flavors with
belgian spice qualities. Again dark fruits of black currant,
black licorice, burnt caramel and some vanilla. Medium
mouthfeel to full. Finish is long. I will have to see how my
next bottle compares. As it warms more flavors come about and
bring things together. Getting very nice.

Jun 3, 2007 Bottle courtesy of hopdog! Tall, brown froth resting atop a blackened abyss. Nose is roasty, soft coffee, mild yeast, burnt caramel and dark fruit. Taste is roasted malts, more burnt caramel, coffee notes, soft yeast and dark fruits. Perhaps this could be described as a abbey dubbel mixed with a stout? Body is creamy, smooth, and medium-full to full on the palate. Carbonation is prickly at times. Finishes with more roasted malts, caramel, soft yeast, faint spices, more pronounced dark fruit (mainly raisin), and hop bitterness. Bittersweet throughout the finish.

May 26, 2007 Bottle from SamuraiArtist. Yeast, anice, and some malt in the aroma. Black body. Full palate. Malty taste with yeast and coffee. Very lightly sour actually. Interesting for sure. More like a saison as it warms--getting more hints of alcohol, spices and heavier malts. Good stuff.

May 22, 2007 Pours a dark brown. Aroma is strong, strange, and tough to decipher. Rather meaty, with some licorice, prunes and a spice presence. Odd, but balanced. Tastes of chocolate, spiciness (yeast? cloves?), light roast coffee. Finishes like a yeastier, fruitier/spicier robust porter would. Balanced, full, and interesting enough to keep me wondering. When the glass was done, I still didn’t quite know what the hell I just drank. I’d say that’s something worth seeking out.
