03/2015 - I've always a fan of this; awesome cinnamon and coffee, without either being overpowering, on the nose; lactose and vanilla ensure a nice sweetness on the palate; relatively thick body, especially for the style.

While placing the imperial porter at the end of any session makes a lot of sense when it comes to impact on the palate, as it's usually the strongest flavored beer of the day, coffee stouts can get in touch with out inner insomniac. But the imperial coffee porter of Kane Brewing is strong in its effects while carrying a caffeinated jolt; perfectly suited for pick-me-up and put-me-down of brunch.

Sunday Brunch is a formidable dark ale of such character and placement as it pours a sparsely headed black appearance, looking like dark roasted coffee immediately to the eye. Its onyx-like sheen precedes a decadent and roasty scent that's laced with maple, spice, cocoa and coffee. Its strong taste greets the tongue with a hearty sweetness of maple, molasses, caramel and toffee.

Its decadence resumes across the middle palate as the sweetness turns to robust. French press coffee, black walnut, dark chocolate wrap around the caramel and cream and ushers in a bittersweet finish with rich suggestions of coconut, cinnamon and kahlua.

Full in body, the lavish stout is mild enough in texture to mimic the feel of a creamy, sugar sweetened espresso except with a Mexican hot chocolate under current. Spiced with a bourbon glaze, the oaken attitude of charred woods, vanilla, caramel and peppery tannins play a sweet and spicy tune on the after palate.
