"Midnight Sessions"-the beer

Pour me another glass please.  This beer was fantastic!  Midnight Sessions, appropriately renamed Midnight Expressions, is a "Roasty Black Lager" with tons of flavor.  Also done by "Port Brewing" this beer was well balanced with extremely low bitterness.  I tasted some coffee flavors in this delightful lager, probably because of the darker malts, and it was just fantastic.

The ABV was 5.5%, about half the Panzer, but it makes up for this shortcoming with massive taste and mouth feel.  It's a calm relaxing beer that can rock weary beer drinkers into a peaceful slumber.

Oh, about the name of the beer.  The bottle Mike and I enjoyed bore the name "Midnight Sessions."  For some reason this conjured images of, well, promiscuous encounters between young adults.  Not a pleasant thought for someone trying to end a quiet evening peacefully.  After noticing the potentially misleading snafu, it appears that "Port Brewing" went with the more subdued name of "Midnight Expressions."  Now, I'm not sure why Midnight is trying to express anything but I think it is a step in the right direction for Port Brewing's PR team, well done.

Until next time Remember, Happiness is only know by it's relationship to Sadness.  We only know good beers because of the bad ones.  Drink On!
