Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2019)

Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee

What we’ve got here is an imperial stout brewed with a massive amount of coffee and chocolates, then cave-aged in oak bourbon barrels for an entire year to make sure wonderful bourbon undertones come through in the finish. Makes your taste buds squeal with delight.

Holding up well. Cleaning out the beer stash. Still tons of coffee, feel the bourbon has mellowed.

Delightful. Chocolate nose, nice and full, good head retention. Hint of bourbon for sure, but I think it has mellowed a bit given it's a 2019... picked up ages ago in Fitzroy!

Aged so well. Drinking back to back with Bardstown bourbon aged in KBS barrels

Held up really nicely! Still a lot of chocolate and roasty coffee. Was this the last year the base was good? I haven’t had newer iterations

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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