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 at the DC Spring RB Tasting. Poured a pitch black, motor oil color with a small, wispy brown head. Lots of nice legs on this one. Aroma was a blast, a huge blast of maple. Roasted malts, roasted coffee, vanilla bean. Flavor was similar, nice maple syrup, vanilla and coffee notes. Very warming. Very smooth, not a whole lot of sweetness in this one, which was very nice. So smooth.

355ml bottle. Thanks Otso! Silver wax, 2018 vintage, bottle number 509. Pours pitch black with a tiny sticky brown head. Aroma has massive amounts of coffee, espresso, mocha, vanilla, roasty malts, bourbon, wood, some maple syrup, oak and molasses. Taste is dry, smooth and super well balanced with loads of coffee, mocha, cocoa, oak, wood, hints of maple, bourbon and molasses. Finish is smooth, oily and slightly roasty with loads of coffee, oak, molasses, bourbon, wood and mocha. Surprisingly dry and heavy with coffee notes. Super well balanced and awesome barrel aged stout. Complex and tasty. Worth the hype? Maybe, but not quite what I was expecting though.

Out of pure serendipity I was standing next to Clark L., the founder and owner of TG, in the tram line at Jackson Hole Mountain resort. I invited him over and he brought this amazing beer (among others). Vintage 2018, bottle no. 2011. He opened it and we shared it. What a treat. This beer pours black with a tan head. The aromas of maple, chocolate and coffee are intoxicating. The flavors are moderately sweet and multilayered. This is about as perfect as a beer can be.

Small sample with massive thanks to Kermis and Maakun. Black goo. Very heavy viscosity. Deep roasted chocolate malts, big espresso coffee, pure chocolate, coconut, hazlenut, wrapped in sweet bourbon, maple syrup and vanilla. Massive sweetness and proper roasty bitter. Full body, no carbonation left in this sample. Lovely slick and muddy feel. Amazing to get the chance to sample this! --- Beer merged from original tick of Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout on 09 Jan 2018 at 13:15 - Score: 9

Small sample, massive thanks to mr K!!! Almost black with barely any head. Massive fudge, coffee, bourbon, milk chocolate, maple syrup, lots of molasses. They all fight to be the main aroma here, Iβd say itβs mostly dark chocolate and molasses, but the other aromas complement this very well. Very sweet with some roasted tartness and cocoa bitterness. Full, even thick bodied. Itβs a bit hard to rate from a small sample, but itβs damn tasty for sure. Love it!
