Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2013)

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.

Coffee has soften but is still pleasant. Delicious chocolate. Charred oak. Smooth and well rounded bourbon notes. 9 years on the carbonation is gone, but the flavor is very good. Booziness has completely smoothed out. Very drinkable.

Pours with essentially no head. Aroma is dark chocolate with the slightest hint of coffee. Taste is heavier on the boozy bourbon notes. Hints of coffee and roasted malt. Finish is pretty dry, w/ hints of the barrel and a soupçon of bourbon deliciousness.

I never tried KBS until 2015 and as good as it was, many said that it was better in years prior. I got my hands on this beauty stored in the closet of my fiancée. Even after almost 9 years, it's still amazing and the coffee hasn't become too bitter.

This I believe is the next to last bottle I have of the 2013 vintage of KBS. It really is one of my very favorite beers. Cocoa, coffee, and Bourbon flavors, all perfectly well-balanced. This beer is eight years old, and it is a perfect as it was new.

Nice smooth chocolate and coffee as it warmed. Was a little more bitter cold. Less carb now but no signs of any oxidation.

This is still pretty solid. Been awhile since I cracked into an older KBS. Pretty mellow with a nice chocolate and faint coffee flavor. Nice stout.

waited a long-ass time for this. problematic but damn if it doesn’t age—kitten-soft, silty cocoa. Bourbon’s gone to dirty vanilla, faded wafts of dark roast coffee. touch of soy around the edges from my obstinance in saving for a special day. #ByeDon
