About This Beer
The brewers loaded this decadent brew with coffee, hazelnuts, and maple syrup. Each sip of this enchanting treat is like tasting a sticky-sweet stack of flapjacks slathered in maple and adorned with crushed nuts to give it an otherworldly flavor.
Tasting Notes
Notes of espresso play off the sweetness of the syrup, making the brew taste almost mocha-like. Add a flourish of toasted-nuttiness, and you’ll forget that this is a beer and not a full-blown dessert from your favorite bakery!

First one I had hazelnut was all I could taste.Let this age a bit and the hazelnut calms down and and you get the chocolate and pastry. Very nice!!

Tasty, but like most Hubbard’s Cave’s beers I’ve had, cloyingly sweet and difficult to finish

Tastes like a Hazelnut latte without the creamy milk flavor. Doesn’t feel like a 12% beer, drinks much smoother

Very sweet and very rich so I could probably only do one in a sitting. Hazelnut is very forward and ads a roasty element. Overall really good but limited to how many you could probably stomach.

Very tasty, but the flavor is a lot. Not something I can drink a lot of due to the sweetness.

At first, overly sweet, but as it went along really fantastic. Definitely a dessert beer or maybe one to enjoy after breakfast

If breakfast for dinner is on the menu you definitely want this beer to accompany it.

I don’t like it but I have to give it a good score because It tastes like what’s advertised. Imagine coffee with hazelnut syrup and maple syrup followed by some cake like malt flavors. Xxxtra thicc mouthfeel. Looks pretty and if you like sweet coffee liquor you’ll probably dig this. Not for me.

It does taste like a coffee cake but not in a good way. You can taste the hazelnut coffee with a hint of maple syrup. It also tastes like a yeasty, bread pastry. It is what it advertises but I didn’t care for it.

A very nice imperial pastry stout. It hits all the notes it’s claims to, cake, maple syrup, etc. It’s too sweet for me but that’s my fault trying a pastry stout when I’m a RIS fan. Pay attention to the description and if it sounds good to you, you’ll love it.

This one was spectacular. Strong coffee notes most definitely, especially of black coffee. Underneath that, the hazelnut comes through more so than the pancake flavor but they all work together just excellently. Will definitely reorder.

Very sweet at first taste. The maple is definitely prevalent. The espresso undertone does smooth it down some which is a good thing.

Heavy maple nose, hazelnut is understated; coffee is strong on the finish. Well balanced.

Really good overall flavor with maple and pancake notes, with coffee. Very strong, though, at 12% and couldn’t finish. Sneaks up on you.
