Founders Breakfast Stout

Style:  Double/Imperial Stout
Brewery: Founders
Package: Bottle into Glass
ABV: 8.3%
Gravity: Unknown
IBU: 60
Location: Citywide Liquors (Downtown South Bend)

Aroma: Chocolate, Coffee, Toffee and roasted malts


Appearance:  Very dark brown and opaque with a thick creamy brown head

Taste: Tastes of coffee and chocolate with just the right amount of bitterness, balanced well with malty sweetness

Mouthfeel: Thick and a little chewy, mild carbonation. 

 
Drinkability: This is a very delicious brew, and could easy drink a couple of these. 


Notes: This is a seasonal brew (Sept-Dec) from Founders which I was fortunate enough to try both in the bottle and on tap. Brewed with imported chocolates along with kona and sumatra coffee, this is a coffee-lovers stout. This is a pretty easy to find brew in the South Bend-Mishawaka-Elkhart area, and certainly worth giving a try.


Food Pairing: Cheese, Chocolate, Grilled and Smoked meats

Grade: A
