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.

Was hoping it would be more mapley especially from a Canadian style beer but I'll take it. Super coffee punch on first sip. Chocolatey/mocha aftertaste. The sweetness from the maple is definitely there but not the rich woody flavor.

What’s not to like about a big Stout? Have yet to have a beer from Founders that wasn’t superlative.

Chocolate, coffee and sassafras on the nose. Sweet fudge, roasted dark malt and maple syrup on the finish. A big sweet stout. Hope they bring this back

I remember when this beer was considered one of craft beer's biggest whales...hype goes a long way, I suppose. Above average barrel-aged brew.

Enjoying time at the Mahoney’s and also with the Kerbys. Dinner from old Havana and now sharing different beers. This has a sweet taste but not too sweet. Agree with Mark in the rating.

"Сига'еты и кофе, кофе и сига'еты," - пел когда-то мальчик картавый. Добавили кленового сиропа, подержа и свершилось чудо. Пусть хуже канадского виски только индийский и филиппинский, пусть Founders может и лучше, но и это получилось неплохо.

Is this better than KBS? I really don’t think so. There’s a sharp and almost astringent component here that doesn’t exist in the original. Nice, but not worth the fuzz

Doing a side by side comparison. They’re very similar. I’m leaning towards KBS though.

Like drinking an adult mocha latte. It’s delicious and well balanced with all of the other notes to make a sweet, chocolaty, coffee blend. Solid stout.
