Funky Buddha Maple Bacon Coffee Porter

Aroma: “So many feels with this aroma, in the best way. Like a greasy spoon diner in the middle of winter that you stop at on your way up to the mountains. Intense maple notes, a sweet vanilla character, perfect medium-roast coffee aroma, and nice, subtle smokiness.”

Flavor: “At first this beer is exactly what you’d expect from the aroma, with a clear maple and coffee sweetness up front. There is a nice smoky, meatiness that lends heft and complexity. It not overly extract-y. It’s sweet, but not cloying.”

Overall: “A beer that executes on exactly what it set out to accomplish. It’s a full breakfast minus the pancakes.”
