4.45/5 rDev -1.5%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

Purchased a 4pk at Wegmans in Warrington, PA

Enjoyed in a DFH Signature Glass

A - Pours a near jet-black color. About a one finger, beige colored head on the initial pour that fades to a skim. Decent lacing left on the side of the glass.

S - Wow! An awesome smelling beer. The coffee aroma is dominate with a sweet aroma mixed in.

T - A top-notch stout. The coffee taste is dominate initially but as it warms up a mix of chocolate and hops come through. Really creamy. The alcohol is barely noticeable. Not a beer that you want to rush through. Just savor it's goodness.

M - A lightly carbonated beer. On the heavier side in regards to consistency. A creamy goodness coats the mouth.

O - I really liked this beer. This ranks up there with the Terrapin Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout, which I also loved for it's coffee taste. Founders consistently puts out outstanding beers. This one is another winner. Recommended.

Cheers!

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!
