Okay, I have definitely been on a big Founders kick lately. I think this will be the last one I review for a while... until I get my hands on a bottle of Canadian Breakfast Stout that is!
Breakfast Stout by Founders
Style / abv: Imperial Stout / 8.3%
Source / Temp: 12oz bottle / 55 deg
Glass: Wine Glass
Appearance: Dark brown, verging on black. Poured with virtually no head, just a small ring of brown bubbles.
Aroma: Fresh coffee, maple and dark chocolate. I'm not sure I pick up on the Kona, but the Sumatra is evident.
Taste: Rich dark chocolate blended with robust coffee and roasted malt. Interestingly, I think the Kona is more evident in the taste. I can't taste the hops but they bite my tongue at the finish.
Drinkability: This beer has creamy, thick mouthfeel making for a good sipping beer.
Notes:
Breakfast Stout is one of my very favorite stouts. I look forward to it when it comes out each season and I buy enough to last a while.
I give Breakfast Stout a 9 out of 10.
Eis Igian,
Randall
