Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023)

Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee

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.

This one is well balanced. Not one flavor sticks out too much. Hides the ABV really nicely. Git some!

Not gonna lie. This exceeded my expectations. I was thinking I’d get let down by getting back together with my ex. She’s still very tasty. Bourbon and maple come through nicely 🥃 🍁

Coffee and a hint of maple on the nose. Smooth mouthfeel, lots of bubbles, full bodied. Coffee and maple throughout the palate. Maple finish. So glad it’s back!

Nice to see this is back ( as I predicted it would several years ago) it's good but not nearly as good as when it was draft only. Not as good as when was last packaged even. Thin body but good.

This is possibly the best beer ever. I’ve never had it fresh. I found the last batch from 2017 at some random liquor store in 2020, so the bourbon notes had faded. This one though, strong and delicious. Let it warm up a bit though.

Mmm, fresh CBS.See previous reviews of various vintages.This iteration has all the complex choco/java/mapley/roasty flavors but a very subtle bourbony/whiskyish note.Much less intense than previous years to my tastebuds but still worth every penny. Dear

Hello Old Friend. Not as good as past years' bottles, but I'm glad this is back. We initiated the Cry It Out method with our baby tonight after a 2 month battle with her sleep. Needed to bring special coping skills to get through this. She's asleep!

Pours opaque brown. Nose is cocoa & coffee with maple notes. Maple & cocoa forward with soft vanilla into the finish all on a light coffee base. Bourbon is a subtle accent. Wonderful body & mouthfeel. ABV very well hidden. Brewer's notes are spot on.

Perhaps not as good as I remember, but still tasty. Needs to warm up a bit in the glass. 4.3 - 4.4 range.

Strong roasted coffee and sweet maple aroma and taste. Oak notes and a hint of bourbon. Started with a 4.75 but pushed it to a 5 as it warmed. Take your time with this one. It's a damned good beer, good to have it back.
