Inspired by brunch Armadillo Ale Works adds maple syrup, cocoa nibs, vanilla, coffee and lactose sugar to the base golden ale that has flaked barley and oats and a hint of honey and caramel malts. This all adds up to a dynamic drinking experience that is truly Brunch in a bottle. The beer poured a light copper with a small tan head that disappeared quickly. The aroma has a vanilla and maple sweetness intertwined with coffee that can trick you into thinking stout. The taste hits you with an initial coffee roast followed immediately by the sweet vanilla and maple sugar that is boosted by the lactose sugar. The cocoa lingers on the back end and coats your palate with a pleasant bitterness. This beer truly takes your taste buds on a ride. It may seem like a lot but the parts equal a tantalizing whole that was surprisingly drinkable given the high ABV.

12oz can with 238 and 21 and 049 on the bottom. Opened 1-8-22.
Thin head that dissipates immediately to a ring. Roused and it repeats. Golden with orange highlights and limited clarity. Fruity and floral nose with mild underlying coffee and vanilla. Fruity/floral carries through to the flavor. Cigar box. Vanilla and a hint of sweet maple syrup (comes on stronger further into it) and late floral hop bitterness. Full body with mild carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel. Sweet and lingering finish.
Okay to Good.

Had it on tap at the local World of Beer. Pours a hazy brownish yellow color with excellent head and lacing.
Smells and tastes like coffee and vanilla cookies! Lots going on here! Pleasant citrus and hoppy background. Not boozy, comforting and enjoyable.

Awesome. Loved it! You can't crush these but that's not the point. Tastes like you're eating a hearty breakfast.

I get an overall residual sugar sweetness complimented by nice roast coffee and possibly cocao flavours with a decent hop backbone and finish. Hides the 10% abv remarkably well. A nice brew for sure!
