Checking in the 2nd half of the same bottle to log the vintage. 🙂

Hazelnut is there of course but it goes into a chalky, wooden territory as well. The flavors hide a bit of the booze but it could use some sweetness.

Not a huge nose, just a hint of hazelnut. But the taste... like a sweet hazelnut coffee with chocolate notes. Not an aggressive bourbon taste, but it is there in the background. Excellent.

Not as sweet as I was expecting. Mostly coffee. Good surprise

Smells like boozy hazelnut coffee. I lose the bozziness in the initial taste, just hazelnut coffee to my taste, finishing with chocolate notes and roastiness.

One of the best variations I’ve had, $5.50 at Gerbes, can’t beat it

Strong with the hazelnut

KBS must have been bought out by Big Hazelnut and were forced to put in 5x what the recipe calls for. Tasty, but the unmistakable aroma and flavor of Hazelnut is affecting my neighbors beer across the street.

Too much fake hazelnut flavor- the experience was like an ok stout force-fed with Coffeemate Dairy Free Hazelnut Flavor. An ok beer wrecked by the forced flavoring.

Hazelnut strong. Wished the Bourbon Barrel shined more. Still a pretty good variant.

Decent stout with nice hazelnut. Typical KBS stout with little bourbon barrel aging present

Hazelnut is there. Maybe some chocolate. Not overly thick. Hazelnut nose. Roasty close from the coffee. Pretty solid.

From Saturday was pretty lit up at the time but KBS is always fire and I remember taking a drink and immediately loved it

The aroma is reminiscent of sticking your face inside a box of ‘nilla wafers backed with cocoa and coffee. Founders remains the king of year-round available barrel aged stouts with this one. Good bitterness to boot.

I remember when KBS was worth looking for…

I dig most KBS releases and this one wasn’t bad but tbh I was a little underwhelmed

LCI- well I guess I’m going to be different on this one. Nothing stands out, rosstiness and some hazelnut. Very minimal coffee and cocoa. No barrel flavor at all. Taste is muted
