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.

First time having this vintage since it’s release in 2017. Coffee is gone, but a bourbon chocolate bomb remains.

Aged this for 4 years. Really heavy tobacco on the nose. Coffee has settled. Cellar aged

Dusted this little guy off. It's not bad.. the chocolate is a touch bitter. Coffee is still solid tho, and decent barrel.

2017 on tap!?! What!?! I get the bourbon, the barrel and some coffee. Not as sweet, thick or complex as I expected. Not sure if this is a little over-the-hill, or if there’s just better stuff out there, now.

Coffee and a bit of chocolate on the nose. Dark brown colour with a tan head that fades to a thin ring. Coffee is throughout, but the mouthfeel is thinner than I like. The alcohol is present, but not hot. This is fine, but not outstanding.

A little thin and chocolaty. Not my favorite year and 4 years on the shelf didn’t help. Still quite enjoyable while watching the Masters

The body has held up nicely, providing a nice velvety sip, but the coffee has faded down to mere bitterness and the cacao is nowhere to be found. The oldest of the crew just doesn’t have that same punch, which shouldn’t be too surprising.

Four years aged. Bourbon has completely mellowed + integrated with base. Getting more oak and zero burn. Other flavors have significantly muted - some choc little coffee. Good but much better fresh. Won’t be aging any other KBS bottles holding onto
