Founders Breakfast Stout (355ml)

The profound richness of freshly roasted coffee creates an enchanting flavor. Despite being a limited-time product available for only about four months, it's a top-selling favorite at the brewery.

This stout, made with a generous amount of flake oats, two types of chocolate, and coffee, boasts a strong aroma of Java coffee and an impressively fluffy, brown head.

For coffee lovers, this is truly the beer of their dreams.

This Breakfast Stout is a special autumn-to-winter brew that incorporates chocolate and coffee.

It's one of the beers that helped kickstart the "extreme beer" craze and embodies the spirit of "Brewed for us."

Despite being available for only four months out of the year, it's a super popular product, ranking fifth in sales across the entire brewery.

The unique bottle label, featuring a round-faced boy engrossed in cereal, the king of breakfast, is quite famous in the US. Many people reportedly don't know the beer's name but immediately recognize it when referred to as "the beer with the child on the label."

Dave Engbers, one of the founders, describes this beer as "a complete pain in the ass to make."

The cult-favorite, ultra-limited "KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)" is this beer aged for one year in Kentucky bourbon barrels.

The origin of this beer.

One day, Dave was working in the brewery's taproom.

A regular customer brought in chocolate-covered espresso beans.

He received some beans from the customer and put them in his mouth along with the Founders Porter he was drinking.

At that moment, the idea for this beer came to him.

Afterward, this beer was released to the world as a stout with refined flavors based on that idea.

Its color is jet black.

The aroma carries notes of bitter chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt.

The taste is similar, with a smooth mouthfeel and a warming sensation from the alcohol.

Its complex yet smooth flavor possesses an enchanting beauty that makes you mistakenly believe it wouldn't be strange to enjoy it with breakfast.

It won a bronze medal in the Coffee Flavored Beer category at the 2006 World Beer Cup.
