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.

Aged since 2017 yet the coffee and chocolate are still spritely and mouth filling! Delicious! Thank you Grales for cellaring this beer!

Pleasantly surprised how this has held up even if it’s a little thinner than most of today’s pastry stouts.

On right. Bottled 2/23/2017, 11.8%, aged at home 5 years. Aroma: chocolate, bourbon. Flavor: bourbon, chocolate, finishes oaky. Balanced, pleasantly sweet, finishing a little drier than the middle but still with coffee, chocolate, and a whiskey bite.

Very muted, bitter chocolate finish. Thanks Nick!

Aged for 4 years, this brew had mellowed significantly. Strong dark bakers chocolate and dark coffee. But it isn’t astringent or boozy. Flavors came forward with barrel oak. Wonderful.

2.5 years since my last 2017 bottle. It seems even more chocolatey…and even less bourbony. For me that is not a good thing. 😑

Way smoother than 2021! Coffee has mellowed. More subtle& integated. Chocolate fwd. bourbon nose opens late, recedes, then finishes strong. Ale character survives. Great age point!!! $1.5/oz might bed a bit high but a great splurge!

New Untappd app is trash. Doesnt even work on galaxy s7. Had to revert to old version😐. As suggested, it taste better when it’s in room temperature. Jet black. Vanilla, chocolate, coffee, bourbon sweetness. Quite bitter.

It’s crazy how smooth and light this drinks for being 11+%. Great flavor. Aged extremely well. Hides the alcohol under mellow layers of flavor.
