Stored in the fridge. Time mellowed the barrel influence, Rich and smooth, not boozy

Yes, a 2017 today, 4/25/2022. So great. Bourbon, chocolate, coffee.

Had to move the cellar fridge out of the basement and guess this wonderfully mellow 5 year old bottle must have fallen out… how klutzy of me, oopsies.

This has aged nicely if you like a boozier KBS, bourbon pops, nice barrel notes, subtle chocolate.

Feel pretty good about getting access to this no longer available beer. Markedly different than the 2021, which was good, this was great.

Felt fortunate to get access to this no longer in production beer. While the 2021 was good, this was excellent.

Five years didn’t hurt the typically nice flavors. The nose was very strong after the pour but waned. Slight burn was a little more present, but overall it was super smooth and a little thinner and easy to take in large, delicious swigs.

House is in shambles, trying to get this circus moving. This smoothed out a lot...still got a punch though.

Last one of these. The first beer I ever chased.

Seemingly lost any guts at first open. Let it warm and there was a bit of fudge and booze to it. Oddly lost any barrel characteristics and played catch up from the start

Bottled 2/23/2017, 11.8%, now over 5 years old. Vertical with 2016. The two taste pretty similar. The 2016 seems to have more coffee and more bitterness. 2017 a touch more carbonation and balance. Bourbon spice prominent, with coffee more than choc.

The coffee & chocolate are nearly gone but the bourbon is smooth. 2018 was my favorite in this 6 years vertical I did so it's my conclusion KBS is at its best aged 4 years.
