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.

As expected, didn’t hold up well. Still lots of chocolate, but badly oxidized/flat

Coffee, chocolate and cinnamon. Licorice not as noticeable as the 2012.

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

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

Significantly better than 12, coffee is faded and bitter but not bad

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.

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

Part of an abandoned vertical. Held up amazingly well. Smooth and still had great coffee undertones.

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.

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.

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.
