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.

Industry may have passed this one by, but still happy to have it back after a 4 year absence.

Still great. I think I actually like this stout cold better than room temp.

So incredibly nuanced. Notes of chocolate, vanilla, caramel, coffee & maple… and bourbon of course. Definitely the crown jewel of Founder’s. (4.45/5)

I think this may be my lowest rating of CBS. Did the return of CBS change, or was it me?

So good. Best example of barrel aged imperial stout. High carbonation. Not too boozy. Sweet and chocolaty. Not too much coffee. Just right.

Start with Founder’s signature barrel aging process, using Beer City’s gypsum mines under the city streets; whether you are a beer snob or not, the beer brings that buzzilicous that says, life is too short to make it complicated. Let's hear that roar! 🦁

Sweeter and boozier than previous versions. Perhaps with less of a coffee/chocolate taste.

O: med dark brown, med-high foam. S: barrel and then some maple def comes through. Med-thick bodied, light carbo. T: vanilla, black coffee, and maple on a nice bourbon stout base. A bit rougher on aftertaste than I remember. Glad it’s back!
