Rise and shine, buttercup - it’s time for breakfast. This imperial version of our infamous Maple Bacon Coffee Porter adds some girthy gravity to the the smokey, salty, rich combo of maple syrup, fresh roasted coffee, and bacon.

Growler from Bill. Thanks a lot, buddy! Pours pitch black with a small fizzy dark brown head. Aroma is packed with maple syrup, woody notes, nutty, caramel, sweet chocolate, nutty, just a subtle smoke along with roasted malts, toffee, fudge, dark fruits. Wow. Taste backs it all up; roasty, loooots of maple syrup, malty, ice coffee, subtle smoke, tobacco, dark fruits, caramel, fudge, roasty bitterness. Although flat from the trip in the growler this was awesome! Would love to revisit sometime; hopefully not flat.

Bottle. Deep brown/black body. Creamy brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, maple syrup, coffee, dark fruit, alcohol, cocoa. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium to full body, velvety/oily texture, moderate carbonation. Over the top in richness with tastes of coffee, maple, roasted malts, vanilla, cream, chocolate, alcohol. Yet enough roast and hop bitterness to restrain it from being cloying.

Bottle shared. Thanks Matt! Pours a deep brown with a small bit of beige head that dissipates. Huge pancake syrup nose that goes on and and on. Lots of coffee on top of that as well. Some faint brown sugar, and chocolate notes but mostly pancake syrup. Dates as it warms up. Sweet syrup on the palate, chocolate, coffee and more pancakes. Sweet finish with some light bacon flavors that come in behind the sweet syrup. Fun beer and pastry stout at it's best I suppose. --- Beer merged from original tick of Funky Buddha Wide Awake It's Morning on 26 Dec 2017 at 21:19 - Score: 8. Original review text: Big pancake syrup nose, coffee aromas and dates. Sweet syrup on the palate, chocolate, coffee. Pancakes. Awesome. Thanks Matt!

Bottle, kindly shared by an American visitor to Biervana, many thanks! Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is intense and sweet chocolate, caramel, maple syrup. Taste is the same, with quite some coffee bitternes and roasted notes, hazelnuts as well. Thick velvety body with low carbonation. Delicious and super-nicely balanced!

0,66l waxed bottle at home from trade with bursprak (big thanks for this one); shared with Saeglopur, Powy and my gf. No obvious BB date. black color, small coffee colored head. smells of maple, toffee, licorice, vanilla, bit toasty, very nice smell. full body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes earthy, bit salty, bit acidic, caramel, licorice, some maple, umami, vanilla, light caramel. finishes lightly dry and bitter with notes of vanilla, maple and salty. quite nice one, not totally convinced by the balance a bit on the bitter side / a bit too heavy on the vanilla, but overall very nice one.
