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.

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.

A bit more barrel, another uptick, but not sensational. Founders should learn from BCBS barrel aging.

It got better with age, more roasted coffee notes. Slightly boozy, and very smooth.

Pretty good stout. At first I thought it was vanilla but it's definitely chocolate. Quite strong, I get a lot of the oaky flavor on the exhale and in the back of the tongue. Sweet and chocolatey while it sits on the tongue

Probably tasted amazing in 2017. In 2023, not so much. It could have been a lot worse though.

Not as good as i remember, pretty thin and faded from what I recall but still pretty smooth and warming with a few drops of BA taste in there.
