Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2015)

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.

Definitely aged a little too much. The boozy has fallen off and there’s an odd flavor that normally isn’t there. Still drinkable tho!

Figured 5 years in the cellar is long enough.

’15 still excellent! The bourbon comes more to the front after 5 years of aging.

Did a 6 year vertical over six days. 2014-2019. For me 2015 won. Probably should have tried all on the same day ... but .. "I did it myyyyyyyy way" 🎵

Cracked a 2015 KBS inspired by an early morning phone call from The Webb’s, who I was to see the show in Hershey with tonight (I still think the would have opened with Candyman). My first Dead & Company show was in 2015 in Philly.

Probably, after a solid session, one of my favorite drinks. Dark chocolate/bourbon madman

And that's the end. 2018 definitely wins out. Things settled, and everything balanced well. This one's is a tad old but very smooth. So I guess 3 years is the sweetest spot. This was an ordeal, thanks guys.

Held fairly well. Bitter, coffee is still there. It has been overtaken but it’s still a nice stout.

I seem to have one of this vintage each year since it was released. It's always a treat for me to drink a KBS. So complex, well-balanced, and smooth. It serves as the epitome of its style. Cocoa, coffee, Bourbon. What else could I want from a beer.

Most of the coffee flavor has subsided but the bourbon sweetness has not. Really nice.

Nose is minimal. Surprising heat on the front palate, with nice cocoa and slight hints of remaining coffee. Most bourbon flavor is gone but there’s a slight smokiness on the finish. I think 2-3 years is the max I would do on this in the future.

Really heavy vanilla notes with some of that bourbon burn on the finish. Basically tastes like the beer geek vanilla shake i had last weekend but better.

This one is a bit smoother. Less alcohol, less coffee, less barrel. A tad sweeter but mostly just more mellow.
