Midnight Sun Conspiracy 22oz:

I am always glad to see new Midnight Sun beers come though the door, they never disappoint. This Belgian style beauty pours an inky black with a foamy tan head. The aroma is sweet with a substantial prune / raisin and a hint of star anise. Great mouth feel, velvety soft up front with a medium high body (but in no way syrupy) with the high carbonation kicking in at the end giving a prickly end. The flavor is lightly sweet with dark fruit, star anise and pepper mid to finish and the light hop bitterness kicks in right about the time the carbonation prickles up at the end. Superb showing from Midnight Sun. Serve this beer at 55 degrees or warmer; serving this cold is considered a class A beer felony.

Here is what the brewery has to say about Conspiracy
* 8.5% Alcohol By Volume
* 25 International Bittering Units (IBUs)
Conspiracy Belgian-style Black Beer is the result of a collaboration between Midnight Sun brewers Gabe Fletcher and Ben Johnson and Pelican Pub (Pacific City, OR) brewer Ben Love. These brewers conspired during barley wine fest week to brew up a deviously delicious dark Belgian-style beer.
Conspiracy is opaque black with a creamy beige head. Black malt shrouds it in mystery; the Belgian yeast imparts intriguing flavor; the alcohol adds danger. If you"re up for this mission, watch your back.
