4.45/5 rDev -1.5%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

A: Quite dark, almost black, with 1 finger light tan head, decent retention and lacing.

S: Roasted coffee beans and malts with some bitter dark chocolate

T: Coffee-forward with toasty malts and some nice coffee and dark chocolate notes, true to the smell. Not overly bitter, very balanced and easy to drink. Little to no heat.

M: Full bodied, but not chewy, very smooth, carbonation is a touch too high on the front end but settles out nicely, wet finish

O: A favorite readily-available coffee stout that I have drank too often to remember. I could only imagine how barrel-aging could amplify this beer to a level even above KBS. Near-perfect.

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!
