A- Pours a beautiful dark dark brown with a very small amount of head. The lack of head may be because it was sitting in the growler for a few days. Still a great looking beer.

S- The aroma is amazing on this brew! HUGE notes of coco, coffe and roasted malts hit the nose right away. The alcohol seems to be hidden under all these delicious notes.

T- Perfect balance of warm flavors and hop bitterness in the finish. Robust dark coffe blended with delicate subtilties make this big brew a pleasesnt drinker. In the finish im getting some decent hop bitterness. The amazing flavors coat the mouth and hang around. The high ABV is well hidden.

M- This is a big bodied beer with a huge appetizing flavor.

O- A similar experience that I had with KBS but with different characteristics. All positive. Nothing negative. Way to go Founders! Again!

Served from a bottle at around 55 degrees. This is my first founders breakfast stout so my expectations were really really high. Oh god I wasn't disappointed at all! The appearance is just like a typical imperial stout; pitch black with a decent head that dissipates in about 3 minutes. The smell is just awesome, coffee, heavy chocolate, roasted malts and more chocolate. The taste is just like the smell very delicious, very creamy. The first flavor you palate detects is the rich coffee, followed by tons and tones of dark chocolate, ending in a pleasant bitterness. This could be perhaps the best Russian stout out there. I highly recommend!
