A meticulously curated blend of the best of what our barrel room holds. Kentucky Brunch takes time and care to mature, and those that take the time and care in pouring the beer will experience the development of a delayed-release, mocha hued head. Intense aromatics of espresso and maple syrup lead into bourbon drenched maple candy and chocolate brownies on the palate. The culmination of everything one would want on a chilly morning.

12oz bottle drunk 8/9/25. 2024 vintage.
Clear, maple, mahogany, small, light tan head.
Wow that's a lot of caramel macchiato. Wheres the bourbon, though?
Tired of asking where's the barrel in TG stouts. It's a tasty beer, great caramel and vanilla and coffee. Nice lightly syrupy texture. But wheres the barrel?

Bottle from share with ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Appearance is cloudy dark brown. Aroma is strong cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, roasted malt. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, creamy texture, finish as taste.

12 oz bottle. Thank you Clarkvv!!! Aroma of cinnamon, maple syrup and chocolate. The flavor possibly has some coffee, but absolutely follows aroma to a T. Rich and dessert like. This is bourbon barrel aged? Where is the barrel? Mouthfeel and texture are good. Flavor is good. This still is a “ group think “ imperial stout.

Ciemnobrunatne praktycznie czarne nieprzezroczyste piwo z całkiem solidną pianą. Pięknie się prezentuje. Obłędny aromat kawa, syrop klonowy, trufle czekoladowe, wszystko polane bourbonem. W smaku chyba jeszcze lepiej, mix szlachetnej kawy i syropu klonowego, plus wanilia, kokos, trufle. Całość dość słodka ale w tle wytrawne nuty kawowe. Super balans, co łyk inna dominata w smaku. Trafione w mój gust. Najlepszy imperialny stout jaki piłem. Cena bez komentarza. Ale raz na kilka lat warto!!! Warka z 2021 roku.

On tap at Mikkeller & Friends. Pours black. Bourbon, syrup, molasses, dark sugars, some cinnamon on the nose. Flavour has lots of bourbon, molasses, dark brown sugar, maple syrup. Very nice, decadent pastry stout, but the hype for this is a bit absurd.

A pitch black beer, no head. Aroma of massiv bourbon, sweet strong dark malt, chocolate, wood. Taste of sweet bourbon, vanilla, wood, caramel, sticky malt, lovely.
