Founders Breakfast Stout
A: Pours a dark black with a chocolate brown head that recedes to nice lacing. A great looking pour. S: Smells of burnt coffee, cocoa, and dark roasted malt. Over all just a bad burn. T: Very bitter, in a bad way. Can't tell if it's excessive hops, or burnt coffee or chocolate. This 'beer' is as balanced as a Tyson-McNeely fight, what a mess. M: Very thin. D: I was not impressed. Alcohol is hidden, but just way too much going on in here. I find it fitting that the label states "malt beverage" as I agree, this is not a beer. I have three left from the four pack, who wants 'em? EDIT- Okay, so two months later I decided to give this beer another crack. Glad I'm did, I'm still not crazy about the aroma, but the flavor is fantastic. I found FBS to be much easier on the palate and will definitely enjoy the remaining two from my four pack.
