Description

Midnight Lightning by Ground Up Brewing is a captivating Imperial Stout that takes you on a journey through the depths of the darkest night. This enigmatic beer is a symphony of roasted malts, unveiling a deep velvety darkness that captivates the senses. On the nose, Midnight Lightning exudes an intoxicating aroma of charred wood, dark chocolate, and subtle hints of roasted coffee beans. The luscious body envelops the palate with a rich, roasted flavor profile that lingers on the tongue. Hints of molasses, licorice, and toasted nuts add complexity to the beer, while a subtle hop presence provides a gentle balance and a crisp finish. The mouthfeel of Midnight Lightning is velvety smooth, with a hint of effervescence that creates a luxurious texture. As the beer warms, hidden notes of caramel and toffee emerge, adding a touch of sweetness that counteracts the otherwise roasted bitterness. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a trail of smoky and roasted flavors that linger in the mind, inviting you to savor every sip.
