Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of Skyview/madsberg. Pours an opaque black with a rough beige head. Interesting aroma of sweet roast, coffee and syrup. Solid body, a little low in carbonation, sweet roast and heavy coffee. Boozy finish. Nice alright but hardly a top 12 beer! 220312
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Dark pour with a mocha brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, light maple syrup. Taste is a burst of a plethera of flavors. Bourbon, coffee, roasted malt and maple. Nice sweet taste, nothing cloying. Nice creamy flavor. Nice lacing- it is thick and sticks to the glass. The breakfast coffee stout really is present. This is a beer you wish your tongue was long enough to lick the sides and bottom of the glass.

Another beautiful offering from Founders. I feel fortunate to be close enough to a few taverns that can get this from time to time. Beer pours black with a khaki-brown head, aroma is coffee and chocolate and a bit of a whiskey overtone, but in gentle, subtle layers. Taste is magnificent, full-bodied and just about perfectly balanced. Thick mouthfeel, but smooth; just a delight of coffee and whiskey bitter with plenty of sweet, full malt, and a wonderful bittersweet finish that lingers. What a beer! For me, just a hair less perfect than KBS, but worth traveling for!
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
From notes:
Smells like sweet stout and bourbon with some maple. Bottled about 7 days ago. Tastes is amazing, far better than the nose leads on. Very subtle bourbon notes with prominent maple notes. The stout is working well in to play as well. A little char and vanilla. This was worth the search.

I was at the brewery in GR waiting in line for 8 hours back in October of ’11 to get my 2 bottles. Had it on tap inside too. In both cases, I was amazed by the complex taste of this beer. It blows their own KBS out of the water. There’s more dominance of the coffee taste in it than the KBS. Pours a thick dark with some brown head. Recommend using a snifter to enjoy. You need your nose to appreciate it before your tongue does. I’d pick this over the KBS any day.
