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.

Poured an opaque black color with a small tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of smoke, roasted coffee beans and chocolate malts. Toasted oats, roasted malts, light smokiness, moderate coffee beans. Big thanks Jeff!

Courtesy of gillard. One amazing brew. Hard to put down. Pours black, with a nice brownish/yellowish head. Aroma is filled with nice coffee notes. Taste, your fill of coffee, light grains and malty. Not much else to say, this is just one amazing Imp. Stout. Very drinkable, loaded with coffee and a good presence f alcohol.

Bottled sample via and shared with oakbluff. Pitch black in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas of coffee, chocolate, caramel, and a bit of booze. Flavor wise, it’s all coffee upfront before a mellow malt, caramel, chocolate, vanilla, oatmeal and herbal hop push from mid-sip to finish. Heavy bodied without being cloying or lifeless. Very nice.

12oz bottle. Absolutely amazing. Coffee snobs and beer snobs rejoice! Huge notes of coffee in the nose and on the tongue from this motor-oil-black brew. Delicious chocolate and oatmeal undertones. Essential.

Black pour with thin tan head. Coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Full bodied, silky, very thick. Tastes like a cold, carbonated mocha with a touch of vanilla. Very sticky, aftertaste lingers. Amazing.
