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.

Been a while for this OG... solid mouthfeel and coffee taste, could use a bit more barrel.

Doesn’t seem as good as last year, maybe just imagining things?

Historically (for me, the past 8 years), KBS has been one of my favorite beers, which I normally rate 4.75. Both KBS & CBS in 2019 were up to that mark, as is 2020 KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge. However, 2020 KBS is thinner & less complex, with weaker flavors.

Tour de Founders this evening with Jonathan B. - this was roastier than I recall most KBS being. Coffee comes out well as it warms; definitely thin, but still pretty nice.

KBS is always good, but I think it gets even better as it ages.

Sigue teniendo el café, el chocolate y el toque de barrica. Pero esta birra está, sin duda, más aguada que antes. Una pena.
