Tawny chestnut brown with ample head of tan foam. Delicate lacing around the edges of the glass.
Nutty malty driven aroma with a light woodiness to it.
Smooth malty flavor with a touch of light roastiness.
Easy drinking and fairly light bodied, no flaws.
I'd like to think the beer is a tribute to the 80's boogie funk band of the same name, that produced hits like Midas Touch, Freak-a-zoid, etc.

My brother sent a can of Midnight home with me and I shared it with my wife. We were not expecting to be impressed because we have fallen for IPAs and DIPAs in a big way the last few years. But, this was interesting to have had a chance to try and brought our attention to Bull Falls. We'll open to an IPA from Bull Falls because Midnight was tasty, some hints of chocolate...not what we were expecting it would be. Besides being a light in overall look and smell, this was OK. A lighter alternative to our IPAs. Nice to know about.

Pours a dark chestnut in color, very good (near-excellent) clarity. Topped with a nice tan head which lasts quite a while and leaves plenty of lacing.
Sweetish, malt driven nose with notes of toffee and light roast. Slight tanginess, a hint of sherry...
Smooth and light on the mouthfeel -"Porter-ish"- and seems to be very low in ABV, also.
Light roast character is nice, but a bit more assertiveness would be better. Flavors are light and the overall effect of this is "soft", almost as if it were a co-mingled (Nitro/CO2) beer. Very, very little bitterness, and I would prefer that it had more. As a Dunkel this would be "okay" as a Schwarzbier it is just a bit too light for me.
Very easy drinking, so high marks right there.
Ultimately I can see this selling quite well to those who might find the style (via traditional renditions -- mostly imports) to be a bit too bitter ala the old "Black Pils" nickname. So! I'll bump my score up to average, as this might indeed be a good gateway beer for the style -- and to older and more traditional lager styles in general.
