COLLABORATORS: Avery, Mahrs Bräu, and Stone Brewing
There was a LOT of talk about what this beer could be. The only survivor from the shipwreck of ideas between Adam Avery, Greg Koch and Thomas Tyrell had been a mutual like for Bamberd, its smoked beers, and Greg's friendship with Mahrs Bräu brewmaster Stephan Michel. With that firm affirmation in hand, a WhatsApp invitation was extended. But still, the lingering question remained: What to brew? Fortunately, this global cabal of brewing wunderkinds is nothing if not creative. The theme, appropriate for this group, was Bourbon & Pancakes. Because, obviousle. That, and Adam LOVES midnight breakfasts. Mahrs Bräu contributed Bamburg favorite Rauchbier in bock form. Adam brought the desire to age it in Maple and Bourbon barrels. Stone simply wanted it Imperial. And so was born the American inspired, German variant of a brewer's 'Midnight Frühstück der Champions.'

Magnum bottle shared with the family at our first gathering post-covid. Pours murky copper brown with a thin dark white ring. Aromas of maple and bourbon permeate smoky and caramel malt, slight toast and a kiss of dried mulberry. Everyone agreed the nose was nice, the taste however had some issues: maple sweetness cloyed a bit with the malts and clashed with the earthy smoke, some stone like flavors on the finish with the bourbon and toast were misplaced, tastes like the frankenstein mashup it is. Feel is smooth yet hot with booze, lighter bodied and earthy. Thanks to FBarber for adding so I could review it!
