Good beer with loads of coffee and subtle hints of bourbon. But compared to the 2022 version, very mellow. Nicely balanced but not as flavourful as a "fresh" one

One of my top rated beers when it was fresh. Still holds up pretty well. In the comparison this is the first KBS to win

The first thing that hits is vanilla. It's more mild through the body. A little bit of chocolate. A touch of coffee near the end. The oak sits through the finish, but a mild body overall.

KBS vertical night. This one is pretty darn good (for someone who doesn't like coffee)! One of my favorites thus far!

This is just... not that good. Straight booze, no other notes

Additional coronavirus cellar turd. Thankfully, have almost drained the cellar of KBS. This newer vintage sucks more than most.

I had in 2018 I give it a 4. I was hoping it would age better.

Phasing out my KBS verticals because honestly...I have access to better stouts from breweries I feel better supporting. This beer isn’t half as good as their regular imperial stout both fresh and with 2+ years of careful aging. I’ll remember it as it was.

Did not hold up with age at all. Nose was like a Belgian dark — all plum and date and brown sugar. Not a ton of barrel character left. Zero coffee. Don’t let these sit for three years...
