Very dark brown coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall rich brown head that stays afloat nicely on top of a 80 per cent opaque brown body. Aroma of super pungent fresh real maple syrup, a lot of coffee notes and some small pork brine (bacon?) notes and a good deal of roasted malts of course, as well. Medium-bodied; Rich coffee and grainy notes shows at first with a lot of coffee notes and a touch of chocolate with some subdued smoked pork notes that show a bit of an artificial bite with a light sweetness at the end and a molasses and burnt sugar finish. Aftertaste is rich and complex from the flavours, but the malts don’t add too much of a completeness, with a thinnish feeling, especially at the end, that don’t seem to support all the flavours here. Overall, a decent enough beer with some big coffee and maple flavours, but the pork/bacon and malt aspects make this a bit underwhelming. Decent, but not worth spending a premium on this one, like I did. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits in Bonita Springs, Florida on 02-May-2022 US$6,36, sampled a day later at my hotel room here in Bonita Springs, Florida on 03-May-2022.

On tap at McCoy’s in Hyatt Orlando Airport. Hazy orange gold pour. Brief white head. Mild citrus fruit aroma. Tangy citrus fruit flavor. Notes of tangerine, lemon and papaya. Sweet and satisfying. Light bodied.

Tap. Pours hazy golden, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is banana, wheat, bubblegum. Flavor is light sweet, very light bitter. Medium body.

Not bad, esp given my tiring of big impies. I found this surprisingly drinkable, I even had 2 of them - that's a big deal. I always said that when Funky Buddha stays in the lane of standard beer styles, and avoids the kitchen sink and strange ingredients, they can make a fine beer, and this proves it. The coffee dominates the nose, and also the flavor, though some chocolate and roasted malt make an appearance there too. I'm not really sure I can taste much in the way of the bourbon barrel. Semi-sweet overall profile makes this drinkable for its size. Quite dark pour, smallish head, full body.

Sample during the I'm Swamped With Gator More FL Beers Than I Pan-Handle 2! event on 02/20/2022.

12 oz from the BA Extreme Beer Box. Aroma is extremely boozy. Also notes of vanilla, orange, raisin, sherry, wood, earth. Pours hazy caramel brown with orange tints and a small off-white head that falls into a ring quickly. Some unappetizing looking floaties suspended in the liquid. Taste is moderately to highly sweet, moderately tart, faintly bitter, finishing dry. Tastes and smells boozier than beers I've had in the 15+% range. Not horrible, but one and done for sure.

Pretty solid lager. Golden pour with good head and lacing. Rich amber colour with good head and lacing. Decent body and nice bitterness. Tap at hockey game in Lauderdale.

12oz bottle pours a murky brown with some cloudy, white head. Nose malt, marzipan, brownie, cherry. Flavor is brownies and rootbeer, vanilla. Dry finish. Pretty good.
