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.

I don't know when this beer started to be mediocre, but it definitely wasn't from this time period. From last week lol

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

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 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. 👍🏼

Took a trip to Da Rapids. Grab my KBS, a taproom sandwich, and few of these ugly glasses, and I was happy. Fast forward, I'm happier now. The aroma letting you know you in for a treat. Xocolate and sweet under tones follow by boozy coffee bitterness.

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

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.

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

Cellar clearing. OG score stands, but it has definitely faded a lot with time. Last bottle from the first batch of KBS I ever bought. Second to last bottle of Founders in the cellar (still a CBS down there). I’m getting sentimental over here!

KBS and CBS are my favorite beers, and 2013 was one of my favorite vintages. After this bottle, my collection now has two each of '13, '14, and '15. For me, the major flavor is cocoa (which I think many identify as coffee), as well as Bourbon and coffee.

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.

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.

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.
