\"\"<\/a>And now for what you’ve all been waiting for! The Founder’s Breakfast Stout (formerly the Founder’s Kentucky Breakfast Stout, if I’m not mistaken). Now, this is a mean beer – probably the best Stout I’ve ever had. However, it is an interesting stout, flavored with Oatmeal and Coffee. Might sound a little weird, but trust me it works. You’re going to love it – go ahead and buy a 4-pack before you even read the review, ’cause I can guarantee there’s no surprise ending – I’m going to like it. Seriously, go ahead and buy some then come back and we can enjoy the review together over a tasty Stout….<\/p>\n

You’re back? Okay, now on with it.<\/p>\n

This pours an oily dark black color with a thin but viscous caramel head that sticks to the side of the glass. In the nose, this stuff is super rich. There is a ton of coffee and toffee (the two best ‘offees’ in beer) – it smells like morningtime and a kitchen full of fresh-brewed coffee. In the mouth, no big surprise – this beer is super rich, super smooth, and has a giant mouthfeel. The first sensation is of sweet coffee on the tip of the tongue. The beer almost instantly flows into the mouth, coating the tongue and walls of the mouth. As the beer travels down the tongue, we never lose this coffee sensation. However, we do gain some complexity and richness from a warm oatmeal flavor, and the toffee sweetness begins to rise a bit as well, especially prevalent on the sides of the mouth. On through the mouth, the richness of the flavor is decadent and full, but not overpowering – just smooth and delicious. As the beer goes down the throat, it seems to travel slowly so that you can feel it all the way down the gullet, eventually leaving an essence of coffee that shoots back up the nasal cavity, sticking around for a while. Again, this is a killer beer – I can’t say enough about it – if you like coffee and big, rich stouts, then you’re going to love this beer. It IS pretty expensive, at about $10 for a 4-pack. But, this is a sizable brew, and rings in at a beefy 8.x% abv, so it’s arguable worth every cent. Now enjoy the other 3 of that 4-pack that you just bought (but not tonight – moderation is key, you know… okay, maybe just ONE more)<\/p>\n
