A- Pours black with a big khaki head that leaves great lacing.
S- Absolutely bursting with coffee, cinnamon, and maple syrup! It smells like a combo of French-toast covered in top notch maple syrup and high end coffee. Absolutely perfect!
T- The taste is more of the same, with all the flavors melding perfectly together in a well balanced harmony! Some nice cream notes from the lactose sugar adds to the already beautiful medley of coffee, maple syrup, and cinnamon! I love how none of the flavors are overdone, and the base beer is allowed to shine through. Only detractor is it's pretty sweet and decadent, so more than 1 glass would probably be too much.
M- The mouth feel is medium to thick. Not quite as thick as I'd like, but then again it's a porter, not an imperial stout. It's still very creamy and has just the right amount of carbonation.
O- This beer is just incredible! I'll never forget when I first drank it when it was simply named "Morning Bell w/ Cinnamon & Maple Syrup"! I was blown away that day, and every time I drink it I still get blown away!

Appearance: Sunday Brunch pours a deep, dark brown color with a thick, creamy head that dissipates slowly.
Aroma: The aroma is rich and complex, with strong notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. There are also hints of toasted oak and a slight smokiness.
Taste: The flavor is bold and intense, with a strong coffee profile and a noticeable alcohol warmth. The dark chocolate and vanilla flavors are present as well, with a slight sweetness that balances the bitterness from the coffee. There is a slight smokiness in the aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel is silky smooth, with a creamy texture that coats the tongue. The beer is medium-bodied and has a medium carbonation level, making it easy to drink.
Overall Impressions: Kane Brewing Sunday Brunch is a complex and flavorful beer that is perfect for sipping on a lazy Sunday morning. The coffee, chocolate, and vanilla flavors combine perfectly to create a decadent and satisfying experience. The alcohol warmth is noticeable but not overpowering, making it a great choice for those who enjoy a bit of a kick with their morning coffee. The smoky finish is a nice touch, adding an unexpected depth to the flavor profile. Overall, this is a top-notch imperial porter that is well worth trying.

Deep, dark black. Head was not as dark as I guessed it would be, more of an off white color. Strangely the nose is cinnamon at first, but after first taste then the nose was more coffee. Taste was cinnamon coffee with a smooth finish. Not bitter, all smooth!! Great Porter.

500ml bottle served in a footed pilsner glass. 2021 vintage. Received from the glorious @jonphisher.
Pours very dark brown with a small head that fades slowly to an almost invisible skin and a small ring around the glass. Smell is chocolate and cinnamon.
Taste is cinnamon first, and all else second. Milk chocolate is definitely there. Some coffee bitterness. Might be a hint of syrupy sweetness.
Mouthfeel is medium tending toward thick. Overall, this is a good beer, but too much cinnamon for me. But, I'm a little oversensitive to cinnamon in beer.
