Toppling Goliath — Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout Double Barrel (2022)

Few beers in the world command the reverence — and the price — of Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout. Now, Toppling Goliath Brewing Company pushes this legendary liquid even further with the Double Barrel edition (2022), a release that represents the absolute pinnacle of American imperial stout craftsmanship. Brewed in Decorah, Iowa, Toppling Goliath has built a near-mythical reputation among serious collectors, and KBBS Double Barrel is the crown jewel of their celebrated portfolio — a beer so scarce that most enthusiasts will never encounter it in the wild.

A Style Defined by Obsession

At its core, Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout is a coffee maple imperial stout of extraordinary density and complexity. The Double Barrel designation elevates the already-iconic base beer through an extended secondary maturation process in two distinct barrel types, layering an additional dimension of wood-driven depth and nuance onto an already breathtaking foundation. The result is a beer of immense body, viscosity, and structural precision — one that rewards patience and contemplation in equal measure.

Tasting Notes

Expect a profoundly rich experience from the very first pour. The aroma opens with waves of freshly roasted espresso, warm maple syrup, dark chocolate, and a whisper of toasted oak. On the palate, flavors of crème brûlée, bourbon-soaked vanilla, bittersweet cocoa, and aged leather unfold with remarkable fluidity. The barrel influence is seamlessly integrated — never harsh, always purposeful — finishing with a long, warming resonance that lingers beautifully.
