Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo. Thanks Chris! Pours a deep brown to black with lovely bourbon, maple syrup and vanilla notes on the nose. As it warms lots of rich, dark cacao nib and some roasted coffee notes. Full-bodied on the palate with all of the flavors standing out. Caramilized maple syrup on the palate with rich cacao nib, roasted coffee and coconut bourbon notes on the finish. Smooth and enjoyable. Barrel is there but doesn't overtake the other flavors. Very well executed. --- Beer merged from original tick of Morning Rush '17 (BA Maple Imperial Breakfast Stout) on 10 Mar 2018 at 20:24 - Score: 9

Dark brown pour with a coarse tan head that disappears very quickly. Notes of deep espresso roast, vanilla and cocoa in the nose. The espresso notes follow in the taste, really intense, bitter and roasty, but roasty like a well-made shot of espresso, not like roasted grains. Quite a bit of maple syrup, its sweetness nicely subdued by the coffee, burnt caramel, rye whiskey, rum spices, bourbon, oak, cocoa nibs, vanilla. Incredibly rich, complex and damn delicious. And the coffee notes perfect, like no other brewery I have tried before. --- Beer merged from original tick of Morning Rush '17 (BA Maple Imperial Breakfast Stout) on 01 Jan 2019 at 21:04 - Score: 9. Original review text: Tons of cold-brewd coffee, espresso, maple syrup, rye whiskey, bourbon, subtle spiced rum, cocoa nibs, vanilla. So complex and delicious.4.6
