We took a big base imperial stout recipe heavily built off of oats and wheat with an array of specialty crystal, roasted barley and a bit of brown sugar added in the brew house, and after fermentation let it age on walnuts, ground Saigon cinnamon, Madagascar vanilla beans, and then topped it all off with maple syrup. Cinnamon and vanilla battered French toast topped with walnuts and drizzled with maples syrup and notes of coffee.

draft pour into snifter. pitch black with a tiny mocha foam cap. wonderful breakfast aromas of maple, cinnamon, chocolate and vanilla. the taste, however, doesn’t quite translate. instead it’s a decent quantity of chocolate and maple but with a weird, off-putting nutty taste. thick, full mouthfeel. chewy and sits heavy on the tongue and in the finish. a really solid imperial breakfast stout.

Pours thick & black with small dark brown head that fizzes away fast. This beer stains the glass. The nose on this stout smells exactly like the description. French toast topped with walnuts and maple syrup. Incredible nose! Tastes the same way as the nose smells, but the cinnamon throws off a slightly weird twang that distracted a little bit from the overall flavors. Other than that the stout is tasty. Not boozy at all, it's hard to sense the abv in this stout. The sweet levels here slow you down & make you slowly sip on it. Wouldn't want to drink more than the 5ozs provided by a full pour at the brewery.

Released 8/27/22; drank 9/11/22 @ the Yarchives.

Midnight black appearance. An even pour yielded a small dark tan head; nice lace. Strong maple syrup notes up front in the nose, followed by walnut, dry cinnamon & dark roast coffee bean notes.

Thick, sticky mouthfeel.

Cinnamon & dark chocolate flavors up front; dry walnut & faint maple notes on the finish.

This was more balanced on the palate than in the nose, thankfully; I'm never going to love a cinnamon-accented stout, but I've had way worse.

Had on tap. Midnight black pour with a brown cap. Smell is the star with big cinnamon with supporting vanilla, maple, chocolate, and coffee, but mostly cinnamon for the first half of the sniff. Taste is big cinnamon again but now with roasted yet thinner malt and dark nuttiness, vanilla and maple finish lifts the palate. Thinner boy with sharp cinnamon and more roasted than sweet. Good and would have again, but there are better FT stouts out there too
