Stouts
Getting ready to keg my first ever batch of breakfast stout--hopefully it tastes as good as it smells. I used chocolate malt, coffee, and something else as per the dude's recipe at Paradise Brewing Supply store down on Beachmont Ave. I was really excited to try my beer until I heard about Founders Canadian Imperial Breakfast Stout... apparently they age this stuff in barrels once used for maple syrup and then again used for bourbon... that is insane. Not making this up... 750 ml bottles are going for $60 on eBay. So it goes without saying that I'll never try this beer.

Couldn't agree more about the Founder's Canadian. Having had the opportunity to have it (i didn't pay for it) It's one of those rare beers that, in my opinion, actually lives up to the hype surrounding it. It's too bad that the price makes it unattractive and unavailable to most. I wouldn't buy a bottle myself, but I would jump and any opportunity to sample the stuff, you won't be disappointed.
