I can get behind the idea of breakfast stout. As for the fake second beer, If you ever make it stateside and visit the west coast, I recommend Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout and Arrogant Bastard Ale, two of the very few reasons I don't want to see California drop into the Pacific when the Big One hits.
I have tried arrogant bastard! Splendid stuff!! Costs an arm and a leg over here, lol. I have heard of Rasputin too, the Imperial stout that is. I will keep an eye out for it, there are more and more American beers coming to my beer shop!
