Blood…we drunk. Flesh…we ate. Standard sour front end from aging but manifested well. Middle was chocolate and roasted coffee. A pleasure. T minus 9 days til last beers.

This is a beer my taste buds have apparently left behind...which is a damn shame cuz I have 10+ more of various years. Someone make me a BA barleywine or imperial stout trade offer. No reasonable offer will be refused*. * I determine what is reasonable.

Annual tradition, get the Thanksgiving day festivities off to a start with a six-year old KBS that has aged so nicely. All the heat is gone, just carmel and toasty notes, so smooth. Delicious. It’s what I remember loving about it before macro distro. ❤

This bottle aged really poorly - thin, with a cardboard-like flavor

Safe to say this may have sat a bit too long. Original rating sits because I know what this was. My fault for what it now is.

after a quick cellar check, I found this … feels thinner and more figgy/plum like, but after all, it is six years old

I was a little nervous, but this thing still drinks amazing!

6 years on this is just perfect on draft. Comparing to BCBS and others the sweetness is muted and you still get that burn.

Founders is weird about storing stuff - they are opposed to it. But this 2017 has held up just fine.

6 years old and wow - smooth and delicious. Can detect coffee or chocolate, but bourbon barrel aging hit me first, which I love! Wonderful.
