What’s better than beer for breakfast? How about a little Morning Wood. This Imperial version of Maple Bacon Coffee Porter is aged in Bourbon barrels for months, lending smoothness to the smokey, salty, rich combo of maple syrup, fresh roasted coffee, and bacon.

Bottle shared by Chalumeaux, thanks for sharing and for opening your home to me! Sweet a little sticky with lots of maple and lightly peppery coffee. Hints of warming alcohol. Light oaky spice. Very tasty beer but pales in comparison to the last buffalo in the park.

Imperial porter with coffee and maple syrup, aged in bourbon barrels; one of Funky Buddha's flagship beers, glad I finally got a chance to taste this celebrity at Bumb3r's underground tasting event in Antwerp. Thick and moussy, yellowish beige, opening head, black robe with hazy mahogany edges. Strong, beguiling aroma of thick molten milk chocolate, vanilla beans, marzipan, coffee liqueur, kahlua, ruby port, hazelnut paste, cognac, toffee, nougat, maple syrup, treacle. Sweet, candied-sugary onset, dark candied dates and dried figs, soft carbonation, thick and creamy toffeeish, chocolatey malt body, very hazelnutty as well, leading to a long, heating, brandy-ish finish with a peppery hop touch as well as lingering coffee and maple syrup flavours adding further complexity to an already full-bodied, multi-layered beer. Rich, boozy, bittersweet finish, very satisfying. Every bit as good as I was expecting, but again and like many of these American imperial stouts and porters, perhaps just a tad too alcoholic in the finish for me personally.

2017 vintage. Shared by 10/13/18.
Dark ebony. No head. Seems opaque.
Vanilla and coffee bean. Light maple. Not all that exciting or aromatic.
Acidic maple, bitter roast. Vanilla, sweet fudge, chocolate. Wow whats with all of this acidity? Kinda thinned-out, lightly syrupy. Heavy pepper some booze. Low, loose carbonation. Not a trainwreck but the coffee is off/infected I think.

22 oz. bottle shared by Chalmeaux. 2017 vintage, thanks TJ!! Aroma is maple syrup, coffee, sticky caramel. Flavor is nearly sticky sweet. Maple is huge, coffee is a tad over extracted. Mouthfeel and texture is good. Barrel aging is nearly hidden over all the adjuncts. Still good.

650 ml bottle, botled 10/25/16. Shared by Sander, many thanks!
Black body, with a small, creamy, coffee colored head.
Lovely, complex aroma of coffee, cocoa powder, chocolate brownie, spices, maple, some vanilla.
Tastes also delicious, quite similar, with more tiramisu notes.
Full, creamy mouthfeel, with a low carbonation.
Finishes dry, warm, a bit boozy, a bit roasty, moderate sweet, with cocoa powder, coffee, maple, some vanilla.
Delicious! So dense and complex, with a great mix of all the ingredients, very well balanced. A bit on the sweet side, while with enough roasty notes. Another really outstanding, comfortable one by Funky Buddha.
Score: 9 / 4 / 9 / 4 / 17
