Brunch, where two worlds collide. Early enough for breakfast, yet late enough for a brew. Inspired by our classic oatmeal stout, this beer is drizzled with real maple syrup and topped with vanilla and cinnamon. It's time to get some friends together and meet up for a Brewers' Brunch.

Can from Mr. Hop. Aroma is roasted malt, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, caramel, fudge, toffee, sugar, some chocolate, touch of marshmallow and cookies. Flavour is sweet with a decent bitterness. Long sugary aftertaste, medium to full body, light booze in the finish. Tasty, lots of maple and vanilla, bit too sugary for my taste.

Black pour with some brown around the edges, and a medium tan head that recedes gradually to a dense film. Sticky patches of lace. Roast malt, coffee, maple and cinnamon aroma. Medium to full body with flavors of roasted coffee, sweet maple, cinnamon and chocolate malt. The finish is sweet with a maple cinnamon mocha aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Vanilla, cinnamon, bready malt, and light grass aroma - smells like french toast. Dark brown with minimal head. Moderately sweet vanilla, cinnamon, toasted bread malt, and mildly bitter grass flavor. Good body - very nice.

16 oz can. Pours black with a tan head. Dark chocolate cinnamon aroma, coffee, leading into strong sweet maple. Flavor is quite a nice mix with cinnamon, cocoa, vanilla, coffee, and maple. Quite a tasty one.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a dark brown with a full finger of chestnut colored head that lingers, then dissipates. Cinnamon forward nose with baker's chocolate, and light vanilla. A touch boozy and a bit thin after pouring. As it warms up the body thickens up a bit with more cinnamon, cocoa powder and warming booze. Finishes quicker and thinner than the body lets on. Not bad, but not that exciting either.
