KBS

Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee

This beer taught us that patience truly is a virtue. KBS is a big imperial stout brewed with a massive amount of coffee and chocolate and then bourbon barrel-aged to perfection. Incredibly silky and full-bodied with notes of vanilla, cocoa, roasted coffee and charred oak.

Waveney M. Would love this rich, sweet but not excessively so and very smooth.

Always fun to find a Midwest classic in the PNW, but there's some stout competition from local dark brews.

Ruikt erg naar een stout en koffie. Textuur is normaal. Smaak is goed en vrij zacht. Had er wel wat meer van verwacht.

Founders KBS is the epitome of barrel-aged beer. This stout is aged to perfection in oak bourbon barrels, which imparts a complex and rich flavor that is truly unmatched. The flavors of bourbon, chocolate, and vanilla blend together seamlessly. Heavenly!

Packaged March 2020 so probably has COVID in it. Didn’t age as well as I had hoped. Not a ton of sweetness and loads of coffee.

Hard to believe last time I had this was 2015. It’s more readily available now, but still enjoyable all-the-same.

Nä jag vet inte riktigt vad som är grejen med founders fatlagrade öl. Luktar ganska gott men tycker den är för söt, inte lika söt som backwoods bastard dock. Deras vanliga breakfasts stout gillar jag. Buteljerad 3/1 2022

5/24: Glad to have this near the beginning. The KBS variants are (as far as I remember) all better than the original. It’s too boozy.
