One of my favorite beers ever. It was rich and full and very tasty. The heartiness of it was exactly what I was looking for in it. It poured VERY dark, virtually black. And both the smell and taste was dominated by a deep roasted coffee. A back end taste of dark chocolate also was present. LOVED IT!

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!
