Can from Cap Tap. Pours dark ruddy copper with a slight tan head. Aromas of slightly roasty malt, rye spice and some floral/citrus hop. Med body or so. Flavor is slightly roasty malt, rye spice and some citrus. Interesting combo. For me it's basically an amber with enough rye and hop to cure the amber illness. Actually enjoying this "amber". Not all that dry, but bitter enough to solve that issue.

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

Dark brown pour with a thin tan head. Notes of smooth bourbon, oak, light charred wood, sherry, cherries, dried fruit, chocolate, light roasted coffee beans, toffee. Smooth, rich, complex, maybe a bit boozy but my bottle was a bit warm. Great beer!

Hazy golden pour with a thin off-white head. Funky hops, citrus, mango, pineapple, dank pot, caramel, sweet grapefruit jelly, pomelo. Medium body and carbonation, and a bitter-sweet finish. Quite refreshing, lots of flavour. Delicious stuff.

Hazy amber pour with a fine-grained off-white head. Notes of brett, mouldy barrel, dank cellar, tons of wood, light tannins, light white wine, vanilla. Quite complex, a bit unbalanced towards oaky notes, but I am not complaining!
