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.

Nose not great. Taste slightly better. Still way past it's prime as expected. Drink KBS fresh.

Still good but no carb. Still one of my favorites, but a reduced score as is.

My advise, don't save KBS for a future vertical. I know, Founders says basically the same thing.

A little oxidation now. But very smooth. Next to no coffee notes remain.

Also flat like the last ‘13. Chocolate, oak and bourbon are still there, smooth too but past it’s prime.

Tapped into my beer archive. Why not? It’s dark chocolate flavor and really pretty mild, can’t taste the booze at all. Really holds up well if cellared properly.

10 year old beer right here! Smells great. No carb. It’s a little more subdued than it would be fresh, but you still get some fantastic flavors. I probably wouldn’t age this any longer. Good beer!

10 year old hits different 🍻 Way better mouthfeel than the “new” and flavor is still on point. If taken care of correctly this beer holds very very nicely!

13-3, 10yr,2mo o. Vertical: 16-13. Fiery, spicy cocoa. Notes of hazelnut and anise. Wood character lingers on the long finish. Aged very well. 1/4.

10 year old KBS to celebrate my daughters high school graduation and my 30 year high school reunion. Still had a little carb and KBS character. Not the 5.00 rating from 10 years ago but pretty damn tasty still. 👍🏼

My last 2013, practically still, just a little bit of carbonation. Big coffee,dry almost spicy chocolate, can find hints of the barrel. Every sip seems to differ from the last. Happy Father’s Day!

It's just gonna be random. This was oddly still good. A good carb still on it. Not as nuanced as before but still good balance of chocolate, coffee and malt. best of the bunch tonight

Like drinking a memory of 2013 stouts. Slightly faded, but still has some edge to it. Just a fun reminder of the years when I first got into beer. Maple flavor but not sweet, imperial stout with edges softened. Delicious. +.5 cause starting to get buzzed

Retained a lot of the original, but it's a little light on the barrel, surprisingly.

This is the last bottle I have of 2013 KBS. I am now making my way through the final 2013 to 2015 bottles in my collection. Cocoa, coffee, and Bourbon flavors, all well-balanced. This beer is now ten years old, and it is as solid as it was new.
