Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS)

Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee

The legendary CBS returns! CBS is a bold imperial stout featuring chocolate and coffee that has aged in bourbon barrels with maple syrup. The sweet, but balanced, aromas of maple syrup and chocolate fill the air, while notes of toasted oak and vanilla become more profound with every sip - melding together in what can only be described as a transcendent drinking experience.

Nice fully body. Boozy with a smooth barrel aged finish. The maple syrup is subtle and not overly sweet

I love the kbs line. But I just can't dig this. Too much going on to enjoy. Then again I don't utterly love maple. But, it is a nice, complex beer I recognize is well done. Just not my flavor.

Almost syrupy sweet but super tasty. Hard to drink a full pour which normally isn't the case for me.

The 11.7% packs a punch- my first sip was purely chocolate and strong alcohol, which isn’t the worst thing. After the first sip, the bourbon and coffee showed followed by notes of maple syrup. Lighter mouthfeel than I expected. Well made!

With the 2023 version out it only seems approp to put a dent in the cellar... Couldn't open the Mounty just yet... Still great.

Finally found the 2023 CBS and it did not disappoint. Founders does it again. Pricey at $20+ but worth it.

Heavy as hell but it delivers on the layers. Coffee, cinnamon, chocolate.

2018 has aged nicely… definitely a bit of improvement. I think other years have been a lot better, but I’m happy with how this has turned out overall.

2018. Excited to find this again, but it really lost something with age. The maple is pretty much gone. The coffee is a pleasant, mouth-filling flavor, but not as intense or complex as it could be.

Drown me in maple syrup and lay me to rest in a chocolate river. The rich chocolate waves will wash me ashore to glory. One of the best chocolate maple beers I’ve had. Words cannot describe. Get this.
