Founders Breakfast Stout

Nothing says "hello world" like having a stout for breakfast, and founders has one for us appropriately named. This imperial pours black like all the others with a small caramel colored head. The smell of coffee is very prominent has also include subtle tendencies of chocolate, oats, and alcohol. They weren't kidding with the breakfast part because this brew is heavy on the coffee and roasted malts - its like drinking an alcoholic coffee. The finish is very bitter but smooth all the way through, like most other imperial stouts. It has a very nice transition between coffee, chocolate, and roasted oats. If your someone who enjoys a nice coffee in the morning before work, why not pick up one of these instead? (PS. I'm not held responsible for drunken workplace accidents)
