Midnight Sun

About Midnight Sun

An instant classic: Our spiced porter, pours as black as the Midnight Sun and is created from a blend of malted barley, oats, roast barley, chocolate malt then balanced with a generous helping of hops. An after bite of fresh root ginger elevates this ale to another level. The flavours are as paradoxical as the name.

Absolutely stunning! You can take that from me, as a Belgian to whom the most tasty beers on the planet are available at every corner of the street (so to speak). Come winter and the first frost, I found myself browsing the Tasttoe store in Kampenhout in search of something to pull me up. I definitely found it in Midnight Sun. If you like the darkest of Belgian beers and the most prominent of dark stouts, you'll really love this porter style. Roasty, dark bitterness and liquorice offset by brown sugar cane and a sturdy coffee aroma make up the bulk of the wall of flavours you'll hit when tasting this creamy rollercoaster of a porter for the first time. Spicy notes gently push through as you finish the glass. After just one bottle, I am a fan - if you haven't noticed yet. To me, this is the ideal brew to enjoy after a hard day's work ; coming home on a chilly evening and kicking off my shoes. Class!
