Founders Breakfast Stout

I've never been too big into stouts but this particular recipe looked pretty yummy to me. I adjusted the ABV down to about 7%, it is originally about 8.5% but that's just too strong for my tastes. I know it isn't 'true to the recipe', but it's my beer so I think I will do it this way and see what I think. Yes it has Chocolate grains in the mash for that coffee taste but it also includes a liter of cold-pressed coffee made from 4oz of Kona beans and 2oz of cocoa powder added right to the keg before serving. Might take some conditioning time too. I don't know about 'breakfast' but it should be yummy.
