This tastes pretty similar to the 2023 that I had a couple months ago, with maybe a little less booze and a slightly smoother finish. Lots of coffee and bourbon on the nose, with rich chocolate and roasted beans notes throughout. Pretty quality stout!

Hele zachte BA stout. Zelfs na 5 jaar blijft de KBS geweldig.

Can’t help but feel lucky. I thought this might’ve faded completely away but chocolate and coffee are still present.

2019 chocolate and coffee are more pronounced than the 2018

You get some roastiness & a little bourbon, but it's a bit bland.

Lagrad sedan 2019. Avrundat balanserad, har tappat den spännande spretigheten en ”ny” KBS har, nu är den moget sansad.

A black classic. Taste as intense as the Jon Moxley NoDQ match I just watched. Lots of chocolate and coffee, without feeling pastry. The only way to drink coffee for me. The bourbonbarrel has flattened a bit after 4,5 years, the booze still packs a punch.

Getting to be just a tad past its prime. Still very enjoyable!

Tastes just like it did 5 years ago. 2019 was a great KBS year!

5 yr old KBS. I don't think you are supposed to age these, oh well. Definitely tastes better fresh

This one’s been relaxing in the basement for almost 5 years and it’s even smoother than I thought it would be.

My 1st check in to 2019??? Delightfully chocolate bourbon nose. Carbo a bit flat. Coffee grounds for sure, bourbon hint on back end. Decent for almost 5 years. Maybe 2 years on KBS is the sweet spot.

A bit softer than the 2020 batch, but still delicious!

Brought up some KBS from the cellar to share with friends. Pleasant evening, delicious beers. If you have a 2019, drink it now. Still great, but probably just past its prime. Booziest of the bunch.

Яркий прекрасный сбалансированный вкус кофе и бурбона. Это я люблю.

Last of my 2019. I think it peaked last year. Still great but the coffee is beginning to really take over.

Aged 5 years and got quite smooth as a result, with no off flavors. Typical good balance of bourbon and chocolate and coffee as expected.

After 5 years of aging, perfection. The coffee edge is reduced, pours with a medium viscosity, carbonation is fine and still present. From my experience, do not let these age beyond 4 years.

Way past its prime. Oxidized and green pepper. Tastes like burnt cardboard.

2019 bottle tucked away for 5 years. Surprisingly carbonated. Hard to compare of course. Probably not improved over time

Yeh, I may have overbought this beer. Only my 18th checkin of it!!

Aging helped quite a bit with the burn, but it’s just not my favorite stout. Too much chocolate. But this has mellowed out for sure.
