Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2017)

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.

Vertical 2016-2019 from the cellar. Pretty similar. Older two are more woody, less carbonated. Newer two have more chocolate flavor. All are pretty heavy on coffee & bourbon flavor, though it tastes different depending on the wood/chocolate combination.

The coffee has turned to peppers for the most part. Still get some chocolate. Not bad at all.

Lots of carb left. Compared to the 17 bcbs last night, this has faded hard. Light body. Bittersweet chocolate and espresso bean is up front. Vanilla oak and caramel on the dry finish. Lots of cocoa powder linger

This is good, and lots of chocolate and coffee…but I don’t get too much more beyond that! Very good basic KBS!

Not much different from 2016. A bit less bitter and more balanced.

Just cracked a 2017 bottle of KBS. Don’t recommend cellaring for five years 😂 Though not awful

5 years on, quite mellow. Smooth easy drinking, no harsh alcohol bite. Lots of chocolate. This IPA-head approves. Thanks Eric!

Still holds on to the barrel aged flavor. The chocolate is faint and the coffee is mild. Overall, I think it's less bold than when it is fresh. Definitely drinkable though for going on 5 years. Thanks Adam!

Woody coffee with a sort of flat bourbon flavor. Still a good balance, but this might be losing its oomph after close to 6 years.
