Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2020)

Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee

This beer taught us that patience truly is a virtue. KBS is a big imperial stout brewed with a massive amount of coffee and chocolate and then bourbon barrel-aged to perfection. Incredibly silky and full-bodied with notes of vanilla, cocoa, roasted coffee and charred oak.

Dropped off substantially with nose of coffee but minimal taste and bourbon is gone.

Mycket kakao, lite sträv. Stor munkänsla, lite ekfat. Kunde kanske lagrats lite till så den blev mjukare.

Zware koffie/mokka en fondant. Ietsje maple zou voor mij de punten naar een nieuwe hoogte duwen 😉

Zoals een stout hoort te zijn, vol van smaak, licht bitter, zwaar.

Even though it’s a breakfast stout, I’m having it with dinner! Bottle says it was packaged 3/5/2020…Covid beer

Very full bodied and still has its choco and bourbon bite. Backend starts to lean toward a soy off flavor as it lingers and warms.

Pork and stout for the main entree. An abrupt departure from the low ABV of the salad course, but chocolate and coffee combine again for a stout win 👍

In eerste instantie behoorlijk alcoholisch. Droog, bittertje, scherp. Geroosterde mout. De hoge gemiddelde rating ban 4,29 snap ik niet zo goed. Het bier is eerder dun dan vol.

Yup. The booze is too sharp, I think 2018 is the best of the run tonight from 2016-2020, so for everyone out there: drink your KBS 5 years into your shelf life.

Still enjoyable having sat on it for near 4 years, though I think it's thinner than some other bottles I've had

Not as good as other years. Have they lost their mojo? 2021 will be an important year for a better mass-produced KBS.

Worth the wait, saved this for dessert and the rich coffee and chocolate was a delight. KBS is a winner!

I remember when KBS was hard to find or you had to wait in line for the release....the chocolate and coffee is distinct as is the bourbon taste.

Malt Does More

Huge coffee nose, palate is also heavily coffee with hints of dark chocolate and barrel wood. Nice. Booziness is a little too on the nose this fresh.

Tastes better then I remember this year. Bitter chocolate up front, bitter coffee in the rear, no bourbon. 4.15
