Stella Artois Midnight Lager

This 5.4% ABV dark lager is a special release from Stella Artois of Leuven, Belgium.

The beer pours black in color. It is well carbonated, but its tan head is not long-lasting. The aroma is dark roasted, a bit sweet, and a bit fruity. The taste has a nice dose of dark roast, nice char, along with tangy and sweet dark raisins. There is enough bitterness to cancel the sweetness and end moderately bitter. The beer drinks easy, nicely carbonated, but not too much. This is a nice job on a dark lager.
