Founders Breakfast Stout is outstanding

Founders Brewery (Grand Rapids, MI) releases their Breakfast Stout (8.3% ABV) in the fall.  I was lucky to snag a 4 pack (12oz. bottles) at my local mart this past weekend.  The label subtitles this beer as a "Double Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Stout".  Here are my impressions:
  • Pours thick and viscous
  • Very minimal caramel colored head
  • Dark chocolate nose; spices
  • Tastes: raisin, nutty, coffee
  • Coffee/dark chocolate aftertaste
Now I'm not sure I'd drink this for breakfast (of course I don't think I've ever reached for a beer instead of my espresso or OJ!), but it is a great beer on a cool, rainy fall evening.

If you like your stout strong and interesting, you can't go wrong with Founders Breakfast Stout.  I don't think Founders has very wide distribution, but if you do live in the Midwest, grab some before it runs out!

Now, now, it's not like drinking a candy bar. It has chocolate overtones in the flavor. It's still very much a stout beer, not a kid's drink ;)

Interesting, but Chocolate in beer? My boy, you & I need to talk about beer vs. cocoa.

I bet this would be good with bagels - we don't need any stinkin bagels! I used to enjoy Guinness in the bottle. ;>
