A new variant for our non-coffee drinkers, Granola Brunch is our 9.2% Imperial Milk Porter brewed with Vermont maple syrup and conditioned on cinnamon and toasted pecan granola. The granola brings sweet notes of vanilla and toasted pecan to the cinnamon and maple.

bottle to snifter
LK: thick dark black pour, very small beige head, fades quickly to some lacing, ok retention.
AR: cinnamon hits the most for me. molasses, maple, wood
TA: granola definitely comes through with oat and honey and mild fruit flavors. Cola shows up to the party, a bit late. the oat-y/grainy flavors do cut the sweetness some, but probably not enough for my palate.
MF: smooth, flat, mostly full body, 90%.
Another nice iteration in the Brunch series, though a bit sweet.

Dark as can be, like crude oil. Super thick tan head. Nice lacing left over. Nose is maple syrup with a hint if cinnamon. Just like nose, taste is maple syrup. Very smooth mouthfeel.

Great variant - typical Sunday Brunch flavors with an extra layer of almond nuttiness.
Would buy again.

Taking brunch on the wilderness trail, Kane Brewing looks to cinnamon, granola and maple to give a trail mix nudge to their imperial milk porter.
Granolla Brunch hits the trail with a dark brown pour and a frothy tan cap that fades soon enough. As a scent of coffee and cream rises, so do the sweet and toasty scents of syrup, chocolate, nuttiness and spice ensure a complex and enticing aroma. Fully malted and sweet on the tongue, high impressions of milk chocolate, caramel, maple, toffee and vanilla play out in a milk chocolate impression in its early taste.
As the flavors start to unfold, the middle palate holds onto its velvety, milky sweetness while the taste of medium-roast coffee sets an earthy, nutty and lightly roasty tone. Cinnamon and nuttiness mingle next for a sense of earthines for the sweetness and to complement the coffee flavors. Woodsy, earthy and toasty, the beer trails into a kahlua-like finish with a focus on malty sweetness.
Full bodied and soothing on the finish, the beer finishes calm with the milk sugars and maple, doubling down on the sweet and boozy coffee focus. Its a fun and toasty taste that's simply too sweet to fully enjoy.

Pours a very dark murky brown. A very loud fizzing head that quickly disappears to nothing. Curious if this is just this bottle or if it is how all of them are carbed…
Aroma is as you’d expect, smells just like cinnamon granola and maple syrup. There is a dark chocolate, burn coffee aroma that comes off of it as well.
Taste is mostly cinnamon and maple, rich chocolate notes and faint granola and nuttiness in the aftertaste.
Medium body to this beer, creamy and smooth mouthfeel; slightly bitter and roasty finish. The carbonation is slightly prickly but stills comes off quite smooth. Slight warming sensation from the ABV.
Overall definitely not the prettiest beer but it drinks pretty nice and it tastes as advertised. I couldn’t turn down maple and granola, two of my favorite things.
