Technical Details

Tasting Profile

4.5Untappd

Toppling Goliath Mornin’ Delight (2026) pours a dense, opaque jet-black with a modest tan crown that settles slowly, leaving fine rings of lacing along the glass. The nose is immediately commanding — a wall of freshly pulled espresso leads the charge, layered with decadent maple syrup, dark chocolate, warm vanilla, and a subtle undercurrent of roasted grain. On the palate, the beer is full-bodied and luxuriously viscous, coating every surface with an oily, creamy weight that belies its effortless drinkability. The sweetness is generous but never cloying, with maple syrup and dark toffee notes balanced by a firm, roasted bitterness that anchors the mid-palate.

Coffee remains the dominant flavor from first sip to last, deepening as the beer warms in the glass. The finish is long, slightly drying, and richly bittersweet — espresso grounds and a whisper of dark cocoa lingering well after each sip. At 12% ABV, this is a beer built for slow, contemplative enjoyment. It rewards patience in the cellar, with successive vintages demonstrating excellent aging potential. Rated 4.5/5 on Untappd.

Food Pairing

Toppling Goliath Mornin’ Delight 2026 finds a natural partner in a wedge of aged Comté or Gruyère — the nutty, crystalline cheese amplifies the beer’s roasted depth and maple sweetness. For dessert, a dark-chocolate espresso tart with a buttery shortcrust is equally inspired: the bitter cocoa mirrors the stout’s coffee-forward intensity, creating a seamless pairing that showcases why this imperial coffee stout stands apart.
