A Note on This Beer

*This beer is over 50% gone!*

I’ll let you in on a little secret: I love Mondays.

When my alarm clock rings, I leap out of bed like a happy cartoon character. I’m practically skipping on my way to work, singing Bill Withers’ “Lovely Day.”

Why am I so bright-eyed and bushy tailed? I have Monday (2021) from Cycle Brewing to look forward to!

The Florida brewery aged this decadent Imperial Stout in maple syrup barrels for over two years, then added cinnamon, vanilla beans, cocoa nibs, chili peppers, and MORE maple syrup!

The scent is a joyful bouquet of rich baker’s chocolate and spicy chilis. As you sip, gleeful notes of vanilla and cinnamon rise to the surface, followed by the belly-warming heat of peppers. Cheerful waves of maple syrup coat the tongue on the finish.

With brews like this, it’s no wonder Thrillist ranks Cycle as one of the 10 Best Breweries in Florida and Gear Patrol lists them as one of the 25 Best Breweries in America!

I dare you to be grumpy once you’ve got this boozy treat chilling in your cellar! With Monday (2021), you know it’s gonna be a lovely day.

strong maple, very sweet, leaves you with the spice from the pepper but doesn’t offer much of the smokey flavor I’ve had in other stouts with this adjunct. barrel is nice and rounds out the sharp sweetness slightly. this thing is good but the maple overpowers all the other adjuncts for sure, other than the softly progressive spicy afterburn

Opens with dark chocolate, vanilla, and maple. Finishes with less maple, cocoa, cinnamon, Mexican hot chocolate flavors. Chocolate sticks around for the long haul. Subtle spicy tingles the back of the throat as it goes down. The spicy, however slight, does linger for some time with the chocolate. Full bodied, medium chewiness. The maple really brings all the flavors together. Well done barrel aged adjunct stout!

Very much a maple-cinnamon stout, with a VERY subtle hint of spice from the chili pepper. It all works so very well together.

I think the vanilla in this I wasn't a fan of, more oily than I'd like. The chili in it is nice but definitely too oily vanilla for me.
