FLASH: CBS + KBS 2Fer (2x750mL) In Stock 11
FOUNDERS CANADIAN BREAKFAST STOUT
2017 Saw the first bottled release of Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout since 2011! This is an imperial stout brewed with chocolate and coffee, then aged in Bourbon barrels that previously held maple syrup from BLiS gourmet. This is ranked #13 on Beer Advocate’s top 250 beers and rightfully so. The Maple is subtle on the nose, but shows off on the palate, adding some heft to the body of the beer and a touch of maple sweetness on the finish to balance the dark roast notes of the coffee and bitter, dark chocolate. This can be aged, but I wouldn’t sit on it for too long as the maple notes will fade over time, as will the coffee character.
FOUNDERS KENTUCKY BREAKFAST STOUT
The “other” beer in this flash sale is no slouch either. Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout is consistently one of the most sought-after limited releases year after year and was actually the first “limited release” beer I ever chased! I’ll never forget the excitement of walking into Moe’s Tavern in Lee, MA and seeing the brown KBS label staring back at me from the cooler. At the time, it was the most coffee-forward beer I had ever experienced, with layers of Bourbon flavor I was incapable of describing. It not only met, but surpassed my expectations. This is still on Beer Advocate’s Top 250 beer list, ranking as the #28th best reviewed beer on the site.
