Commercial Description:
Conspiracy is a collaboration brew between Midnight Sun Brewing and Pelican Pub & Brewery. During a trip to Alaska for the Great Alaskan Beer & Barley Wine Fest, Ben Love of Pelican conspired with Gabe Fletcher and Ben Johnson of Midnight Sun to brew a Belgian-Style Black Beer. Conspiracy features a rich, spicy aroma with hints of dark fruit, raisin, roast and caramel. A toasted and slightly roasty flavor lead into caramel and a super smooth finish. Debittered black malt was used to get the jet-black color and tan head without adding significant roast flavor. The brewers also added Belgian candi sugar and Mexican Piloncillo sugar (a maple-sugar-like brown sugar) to increase fermentability and depth of flavor. Conspiracy comes in at 8.5 percent ABV and 25 IBUs

Bottled. A black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has strong notes of soy sauce, roasted malt, alcohol, and wood. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt, wood, soy sauce, herbs, and some coffee, leading to a very bitter, roasted, and woody finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

22 oz bottle. Dark brown with a creamy tan head that settles to a ring. Nose is chocolate and molasses fading to dark roast with a touch of grass. Medium body with prominent prickly carb that detracts from the mouthfeel. Taste is coffee, chocolate, plum and citrus. An interesting combination. A touch of smoke in the finish.
