Time goes quickly! Bottled 9/17/2019. First time I've had this vintage from a bottle, now aged close to 4.5 years. A lot of wood, but maybe a bit mellowed. A brief bitter molasses note passes. Lots of maple syrup to balance the roast.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2016) 12.4% W

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.
