Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) - Founders Brewing Co.

Beer Review

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) is an 11.3% Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout brewed by Founders Brewing Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Founders was launched in 1996 by Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers but had a couple different name changes in the early years. For a while, Founders was one of the largest craft breweries in the country before selling 30% of it's stake to Mahou-San Miguel, a Spanish brewing giant based in Madrid. The Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) is a highly regarded barrel aged stout brewed with a massive amount of coffee and chocolates. It was created when Brewmaster Jeremy Kosmicki stumbled upon bourbon barrels that had previously been used to age maple syrup. They added the same base beer as Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS), to create the CBS.

The Bottle

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) was served in a 12 fluid oz bottle. The label reminded me of a Canadian Western theme, with a dark stallion on the cover. The bottle had some fine details. It was a great vehicle for a delicious breakfast stout.

The Beer

I was very hyped to try the Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) as I was a big fan of the Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS). It has some great reviews and is known as one of the greatest breakfast stouts in the world. The beer is cave-aged in oak bourbon barrels for an entire year and you can certainly taste the flavor. It had a smooth and velvety mouth-feel with a taste and aroma of roasted coffee and chocolate. The sweet maple syrup flavor lingered in to make it an easy drinking, delicious stout. For a beer with 11.3% alcohol/volume, the CBS was very drinkable (and dangerous!). Overall, I think it definitely lived up to the hype. I look forward to trying more beers from Founders Brewing Co. in the future!
