Great Lakes Morning Glory Breakfast Stout

Last night I came home from a long day at work and poked my head in my beer fridge. A bottle of the Morning Glory Breakfast Stout that I helped brew back at the end of November stood up front and centre and I decided it was time for it to succumb to my thirst.

I was going to write notes and do a review, but after plying off the cap and pouring it into my glass I decided it would be better enjoyed with my feet up, glass in hand, watching tv and drinking it without thinking about it. I can say that the coffee came across rather strong and the cocoa was now harsh and bitter on the tongue, but still completely drinkable.

Fresh from the cask at the last project x it was very cocoa forward. The coffee was there but hidden in the cocoa bitterness. It'd be nice to see how when transferred to bottle how it balanced out. I loved it at the Volo Cask days. One of the best beers to my palate from the event.
I think I generally like anything when it's coffee forward.
The body of this beer is amazing.

Good work! Indeed.
