MOCHA MACHINE if you want roasted coffee punch and bitter grip,
Sunday Brunch if you want creamy sweetness and restraint.
Both hit 9.2% ABV and sit in imperial porter territory, but they're pulling in opposite directions—one's a dark espresso shot, the other's a dessert. The 12 IBU gap matters more than it sounds when milk sugar enters the picture.

MOCHA MACHINE
MOCHA MACHINE doesn't mess around. Beachwood nailed that burnt-chocolate-meets-fresh-espresso thing—you get actual coffee texture on your tongue, not just flavor notes. The 45 IBUs bite back clean, cutting through the roast without getting muddy. It's dense and warming, but stays crisp enough that you're not feeling sluggish halfway through.
Sunday Brunch
Sunday Brunch is basically what happens when you pour a porter over vanilla ice cream. Kane's milk sugar softens everything—the cocoa reads sweeter, the body's almost velvety, and that 33 IBU count sits low enough to let the lactose do the talking. It's indulgent without being cloying, closer to a liquid dessert than a coffee shop experience.
