Commercial Description:
You’ve got to love coffee to truly appreciate this phenomenal brew. Brewed with an abundance of flaked oats, bitter and sweetened imported chocolates, Sumatra and Kona coffee. We’re actually not sure if this is some type of coffee cake or a beer. Either way you can drink this ale with a fork. Breakfast Stout has an intense fresh roasted coffee nose toped with a cinnamon colored frothy head that seems to never fade and makes you wish breakfast could last forever.

#800. Bottle in Northfield, Mass. As a coffee addict I have been looking forward to this one. Mud brown colour. Healthy head. Smells oaky with chocolate and coffee flavours. Really strong taste of coffee and chocolate. Malty. Smooth, creamy for a long-time. Ends a bit sharper--then dries up. Very nice. Would get higher score if choco/coffee wasn’t so overpowering and had more prounounced texture.

Via trade with Pailhead. 12 oz bottle. Pitch black with a deep brown head. Nose is espresso and bitter chocolate. Big, beautiful bitter chocolate flavor, black coffee, sweet caramel/toffee. Lots going on here! Body actually seemed to thicken up as it warmed, to a satiny mouthfeel. Bitter, bitter chocolate finish. Simply awesome! Thanks Kevin!

Smell is fresh ground coffee, roasty, malts, oatmeal, chocolate. Very nice aromas. The look is black, really dark, with a camel hair colored head. The taste is roasty, coffee, chocolate, malts, and oatmeal. Very good.

Rating 1,300. Botle at Chris’ RB meetup. Not being a huge fan of stout or coffee I wasn’t sure how I would like this. Aroma is almost overpoweringly of freshly brewed coffee. The flavour is well balanced with sweet malt, burnt malt flavours and lots of coffee and chocolate. Smooth and very well balanced, excellent - beer of the night for me.

Thanks to OhioDad for this brew. Aroma is a ton of coffee, butterscotch, caramel, chocolate, with a hint of hazelnut. Body is black, no head forms. Taste is coffee, chocolate and caramel. Pretty good brew, but could use a thicker body.

Pours a huge thick oily mass with a dark tan, almost espresso crema head. The aroma just keeps the coffee analogy going; huge coffee, chocolate aroma. Simply stunning aroma. The flavor is equally huge, tons and tons of fresh coffee compliments the chococlate. Bitterness is pronounced and very nice combined with the coffee and chocolate flavors. The palate is thick and full with a moderately dry bitter finsih. An exceptional stout. Possible one of the best coffee/chocolate stouts I have ever had. Lots of times the coffee flavor can be off-putting but the way this one is put together it is incredibly enjoyable.

Draft sampled at grey lodge. Pours black in color with a tan head and some lacing. Strong roasty aroma with coffee, chocolate and burnt malts. Rich roasted coffee flavor with light chocolate, dark roasted malts and some sweetness with a nice creamy mouthfeel and is full bodied and extremely well balanced with a long and dry finish. Awesome imp stout
