From the brewer

Midnight Pils is the latest in our Lone Pelican series of specialty draft-only beers. Marrying the traditional Schwarzbier style of black lager with the hoppy aromatic character of a traditional pilsner, it features a well-rounded malt character with cocoa, caramel and browned bread highlights coupled with floral, spicy hop character. The cool, lengthy lager fermentation gives Midnight Pils a smooth character and a clean mellow finish. Flavorful, mildly roasty and aromatically hoppy, Midnight Pils takes you to the dark side of refreshment!

Who's been drinking this

Smooth, dark malt lager with a pils-like bitter finish. What was really interesting was that behind the prickly carbonation was a flavor I couldn't pin down - fruit? milk? banana bread? I don't know, but whatever it was was appealingly different.
