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.

Nitro version. I always think that I will like it on nitro but it’s just not the same. Too creamy. Great flavor. Just not a nitro fan.

A little too much coffee. Might smooth out after some time.

CBS is out of retirement! Bottled Oct 17 - so fresh, and so unbelievably good.

Glad this is back. More coffee than I expected compared to 2018. Enjoyed the maple and soft bourbon. I’ll age this and see how the coffee mellows

Didn’t realize CBS was back! It’s great to drink this without the hype that existed the first time it was distributed out here about 6 years ago or so. It’s also at a much better price point.

Solid BBA Stout! Very coffee forward, hints of dark chocolate, maple sweetness and a light touch of a bourbon presence. Not what I remember tbh.

Supremely well executed BB stout. Maple doesn't come off as insane and Wonka as I remember.

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.

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.

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!

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
