look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

A: Dark brown, almost black opaque with a half head of deep brown mocha colour with a slight rusty tinge. When held to the light you can see a deep brown rusty amber tinge a half cm into the body.

S: Dark chocolate, coffee, toffee, mostly a sweet dark coffee scent, coffee liqueur.

T: Coffee, dark chocolate, snow or freezer burn, then a sour almost watery quality that then turns into a rusty metallic taste, and a finnish of black coffee. Very complex. As I drink it, the metallic disappears, and becomes more of a black licorice taste. There is a sweetness to it, but its not overwhelming, and remains more in the background.

M: Medium heavy body, somewhat lighter than some American Doubles, medium low carbonation. Syrupy.

O: I like it, but was certainly disappointed based on the high ratings this one has. Certainly does not add up to 100 for me. I much prefer the taste of Peche Mortal to this. Will go well with the Black Joe Cake (a chocolate cake with coffee in it and a vanilla icing) I'm about to have from my Birthday.

One of the beers that really started it all for me

A- Black as the coffee that wafts from it, with a small not so dense mocha head

S- The nose on this beer, as a coffee lover, just does it for me. Just a wonderful bouquet of cold press, dark roasted coffee with semi sweet chocolate in the background. Just awesome

T-A little lackluster compared to the wonderful smell, but still does a good job of conveying the dark roasted coffee and semi sweet chocolate,

M- This is where I could use a little less carbonation or perhaps it is just simply too thin, but relative to other Imperial Stouts, the mouthfeel is lacking, is more American Stout than Imperial.

O- I have a bias because this is one of the beers that got me enamored with craft/micro/nano/artisanal whatever we call it now; beer. Still, anybody who considers themselves a craft beer connoisseur ought to try this beer. It is worthy

This is one of Founders' best.

Style: Imperial Stout

ABV: 8.3%

Purchased at: Discount Beverage, Canton, MI

Pour: Thick dark pour that resembled ice coffee

Aroma: Smell mostly of coffee with the sweet smell of chocolate

Flavor: Coffee and Chocolate flavor

Overall: A+

Usually comes in four packs in Michigan, but I managed to them in a mix a six pack for cheaper. Good substitute for a morning coffee!

Poured Breakfast Stout in to a snifter.

A - Black as midnight, brown head that is barely noticeable.

S - Coffee, roasted malts.

T - Whoa, very smooth coffee and chocolate. Some sugary sweetness comes through as well mid palate. This is a true winner.

M - Light carbonation, heavy mouthfeel, but smooth as silk. Luxury at its finest.

O - Well, its Founders Breakfast Stout. enough said! Enjoy. Cheers!
