Breakfast Stout: Double Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Stout

Founders Brewing Company, foundersbrewing.com

ABV: 8.3%

TASTING NOTES: The coffee lover’s consummate beer is brewed with an abundance of flaked oats, bitter and imported chocolates, and two types of coffee resulting in a stout with a fresh-roasted java nose and a frothy, cinnamon-colored head.

 

90 Minute IPA: Imperial IPA

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, dogfish.com

ABV: 9%  

TASTING NOTES: With rich pine and fruity citrus hop aromas and a strong malt backbone, 90 Minute IPA boasts a pungent, unapologetic flavor that Esquire deemed: “perhaps the best IPA in America.”
