Founders Breakfast Stout

Etwas wärmer als erwartet. 10–13°C lässt die gerösteten Malz-, Schokoladen- und Kaffeenoten vollständig entfalten.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.

◎ Aussehen

Pours a deep, opaque black with minimal light penetration, characteristic of a well-crafted imperial stout. A dense, tan head forms and persists nicely, indicating good carbonation and body. The beer presents as visually rich and inviting with a creamy, cascading appearance.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by bold roasted coffee and dark chocolate aromatics with subtle cocoa undertones. Rich roasted grain notes provide a malty backbone, while faint alcohol warmth adds complexity without being overpowering. The overall bouquet is inviting and indulgent, living up to the 'breakfast' moniker.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and full-bodied with prominent coffee bean and dark chocolate flavors that coat the palate beautifully. Mid-palate reveals well-integrated roasted grain character with balanced bitterness (60 IBU) that complements rather than overwhelms the sweeter adjunct notes. The 8.3% ABV provides pleasant warmth without harshness, creating a decadent, dessert-like experience.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and satisfying with lingering roasted and chocolate notes that fade gracefully. Mild drying from the grain and controlled bitterness leaves the palate clean without excessive astringency.
