Canadian Breakfast Stout is an audacious imperial stout from Founders Brewing Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Brewed with chocolate and coffee, then aged in bourbon barrels that previously held maple syrup, CBS delivers a bold, layered drinking experience. The maple character is sweet yet restrained, balancing roasted chocolate and coffee notes without overwhelming the palate.

Aromatically, bourbon and maple syrup dominate, with hints of dark chocolate beneath. The flavour carries roasted coffee and cocoa forward, while the maple adds a distinctive sweetness. Despite nearly 12% ABV, the mouthfeel is remarkably smooth and creamy, with warming alcohol well integrated. This is a beer for those seeking complexity and indulgence in a barrel-aged stout.
