Founders Breakfast Stout
A: Very dark with just a touch of light at the edges. The thin brown head disappears quickly. S: Medium strength aroma of roasted malt and espresso, some oatmeal and a touch of chocolate. Not as much chocolate as I was expecting. MF: Medium-bodied at best and a bit watery. Very light on carbonation. T: The taste isn't big, but roasted malt is the predominant flavor with the oatmeal next and the coffee in the finish. For a "double chocolate" stout, I tasted very little chocolate. The bitterness is only in the finish and very coffee-like. The alcohol is mostly well-hidden, but a little hot in the finish. Overall: I like a bit bolder flavor and thicker mouthfeel from this sort of stout, but it is far from bad.
