FOUNDER’S BREAKFAST STOUT

8.3% ABV  Grand Rapids, MI  ratebeer.com rating 100

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. 7.00

Founders flagship beer. Dirty Bastard is an absolute beautiful beer to behold.
