Yes! The Founders brew that we've been looking for all this time. I think the only thing that kept drawing us to it was the word "breakfast" so we could have it first thing in the morning. Haha...either way...let's move onto the review.
Pours black as hell with minimal head and a nice film/lacing. Right on par with a classic Imperial Stout. This brew has a nice bouquet of coffee and oatmeal. Strangely though, it's not very reminiscent of classic Imperials. I think I liked it a bit more. The taste was overwhelmingly coffee-like; coffee-lovers will be in heaven here. There's a touch of chocolate at the end but that's about it. The texture was extremely smooth with a nice flow of flavors and not too much of an alcoholic bite - impressive for this 10% brewski.
Overall, just what we were expecting it to be. A very solid Imperial Stout that will probably be up on our roster for Imperials to go back to if we had the choice. We need to get these again to have as a breakfast brew - for real.
