Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2016) 12.4%

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.

Beer Advent Calendar Day #15. Wasn’t the biggest fan of aged KBS in past years, but this held up beautifully.

Snart sex års lagring och smakerna är otroligt lena men fortfarande mycket mörk choklad och lite kaffe och döljer alkoholen mycket väl

This was bottled when I was still in college and bought in the hamptons. Thrilled to be opening this after 6 years, 4 jobs, and 3 apartments. Bourbon notes burst through and ride a sweet boozy wave. Delicious as always, well worth the wait. 🔥

Bestemt stadig fornuftigt smagende👌🍻, kaffen lidt mere fremtrædende end når den er frisk dog mest i eftersmagen

Love it. Very well balanced. Loads of dark chocolate and almost no bourbon, which I think is good in this case.

Because the beer fridge is still waiting to be replaced and we need room...also, it's just been long enough. Aged nicely, very smooth. Lots and lots of chocolate with that coffee bitterness. Stephen R. I believe this came from you.

Bottled 2/16/2016, 12.4%, now over 6 years old. Vertical with 2017. 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.

Aged 6 years: incredibly smooth bourbon, low acidity coffee and flavorful. Super easy drinking!

Vertical 2016-2019 from the cellar. Pretty similar. Older two are more woody, less carbonated. Newer two have more chocolate flavor. All are pretty heavy on coffee & bourbon flavor, though it tastes different depending on the wood/chocolate combination.

I love a great BBA stout on a summer evening. Bourbon up front but creamy smooth overall. Lovely.

Rune Johnsson

Stop it! This BA stout should be illegal. It’s magical. The rich taste opens up and develops continuously from nose to aftertaste. The 6 years in the bottle have served it well. Not fair to all the other stouts out there!

Had this sitting in the fridge for 6 years. No carbonation and barely any coffee, but still has big chocolate and barrel notes. Aging has smoothed this out

Pretty much 7 years old now. This vintage really held up. Still tastes of bourbon, booze, wood, and chocolate on a roasted coffee base. The newer ones seem sweeter and may have lost more bite. Of course, I do like KBS fresh, often more than aged.
