KBS Cornell

Breakfast beer as I pack up for a long travel day…

Nemesis (2021) Cornell

A boatload of hop bitterness. Just enough caramel sweetness to keep hops from going overboard; still, a long bitter linger. Bottled 3/9/21. Maybe another 6 months to get hops to back off a bit?

Maple Barrel Aged Frangelic Mountain Brown Cornell

Awesome multi layered brown ale - roasted nuts, sweet caramel candy with a bourbon balls vibe, covered in sweet maple syrup. The maple is not heavy handed but compliments the whole. Alcohol well hidden. A great base elevated! Scores north of 4.5.

KBS Cornell

Bottled 4/22/21. Poured at 58°. A perfect beer for breakfast!

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Cornell

I found 2 bottles in a store in Ashland KY yesterday. Drinking fine! Bottled 10/1/20. Light maple (which is fine by me) chocolate fudge, a smidge of bourbon, and a little coffee on the backend. Delicious breakfast beer!

Detroit Double IPA Cornell

Semi sweet otherwise firm malt base; pineapple and grapefruit, light lemon bitterness. A tasty American DIPA. Exclusive to the Detroit and Grand Rapids taprooms.

Bees In the Peach Trees Braggot Cornell

Drinks like a light mead. Tastes like my peach pie - I add cinnamon, allspice, vanilla and almond. Delicious! Exclusive to the Grand Rapids taproom.

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Breakfast beer in Green Bay…always a fine way to start the day. Cheers!

KBS Cornell

This morning’s breakfast…always delish…need to pop into the Drug Emporium and get more…Cheers!

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Last breakfast at the campground. I’ll hit South Charleston this evening with some tasty beers I’ve gathered this trip. Cheers y’all!

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Friday morning breakfast. So good I could drink every day. Cheers!

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Great breakfast beer on a cool morning outdoors!

Breakfast Stout Cornell

This morning’s breakfast beer.

Underground Mountain Brown Cornell

Bottled 8/28/20. The coffee has held up well. Dry oaky barrel finish.

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Bottled 3/11/21. Poured at 53°. Vibrant coffee, and the chocolate keeps the bitter roast on the mild side. If I can’t get Péché Mortel, I’m glad I have FBS for a breakfast beer year round.

KBS Espresso Cornell

Some morning coffee...bitter roast coffee as the stout warms; less chocolate than KBS. Still, an excellent eye opener!

60 Minute IPA Cornell

Piney bitter. Always good!

Panther Cub Cornell

A 4.43 overall for me. Sweet maple syrup, bourbon, dark chocolate, oak, vanilla. Medium plus body, soft smooth tongue coating. It’s no KBS or variants, but it is worthy and reasonably priced.

Fou' Foune Cornell

The perfect blend of sour apricots and funk. One of the best!

KBS Espresso Cornell

Delicious way to start today. Have a fantastic Friday y’all!

KBS Espresso Cornell

This morning’s breakfast beer. Strong coffee nose. Coffee is stronger than chocolate, some bourbon on backend. Have a safe Saturday y’all!

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Cornell

Amazing! Pairing with sliced chocolate Babka delivered from Reisman’s Bakery, Brooklyn NY. Such a fine combination!

KBS Espresso Cornell

Strong coffee nose/taste. Delicious!

Underground Mountain Brown (2020) Cornell

Lovely chocolate, roast coffee, and bourbon. Dry oaky finish. A great beer at a reasonable price. Perfect on a chilly morning.

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Here’s a tasty roast coffee stout, with equally balanced dark chocolate...a great daily go to breakfast beer!

90 Minute Imperial IPA Cornell

Been awhile since I had one of these...just the right amount of hops and alcohol.

Underground Mountain Brown (2020) Cornell

My “new” favorite breakfast beer. Not a stout, but brewed with Sumatra coffee, BBA, and 11.9%! Move over FBS, there’s a new brown for breakfast!

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Cornell

A fantastic weekend breakfast beer - sooo chocolate fudgey with bourbon right behind...I’m happy that the maple and coffee take a back seat. This beer rates much closer to a 5. Must find more...

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Chocolate up front, followed by bitter coffee roast. My go to breakfast beer!

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Cornell

Absolutely delicious! Full score is a 4.87. I need to buy more of these tasty breakfast beers ;-)

World Wide Stout - Bourbon Barrel Aged Cornell

Bottled 11-1-19. Still bourbon boozy. I like! Scores a tad higher than 4.5. An excellent BBA Stout and 18.3% abv - yippee! A great breakfast beer. Cheers!

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2019) Cornell

Maybe my last bottle...need to buy some more!

KBS Espresso (2020) Cornell

Breakfast beer/coffee lakeside this beauty of a cool morning. I like this year’s version better. More coffee more roast. Still plenty of base, but the espresso pops for me this go round. Excellent!

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Cornell

A wow beer! Scores a 4.87. Chocolaty Fudge/Maple Syrup. Bourbon vanilla oak. Coffee as it warms. A 5 for taste. Delicious!

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Breakfast beer at the campground this morning. One more day in Asheville, then on to Charleston WV. Cheers!

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Night cap while the embers burn down...see y’all tomorrow!

World Wide Stout - Bourbon Barrel Aged (2019) Cornell

Last night’s nite-cap - Boozy bourbon and hot chocolate, the kind you get in a Paris cafe that serves hot chocolate. A bit thin for an 18.3% BBA Imperial Stout, but oh so drinkable. I think DFH’s big abv beers are a bit gimmicky/pricy but I like them!

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2019) Cornell

This morning’s breakfast beer - bottled 2/7/19 and drinking fine. Happy it’s available year ‘round...wish I could find it cheaper!

Breakfast Stout Cornell

This morning’s breakfast beer...the usual...and as always delicious!

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Bottled 7/24/20. Always delicious.

Breakfast Stout Cornell

KBS Cornell

Bottled 2/7/19 and drinking fine!

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Bottled 7/24/20. Poured at 58 degrees. Serendipity! Wonderful breakfast beer. Cheers!

KBS Cornell

Night cap delicious!

Breakfast Stout Cornell

Breakfast beer. Strong dark bitter roast. Bottled 6/13/20.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2019) Cornell

This morning’s breakfast beer. Bottled 2/7/19 and coffee bourbon delicious. Haters can hate, but this beer holds up, tastes great every time, and I can buy it year ‘round pretty much across the USA when I travel.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2019) Cornell

Delicious breakfast beer. 1 and 1/2 years young, the coffee is still strong alongside the bourbon. Pricy, but I hope to get another 4/pk today.

Breakfast Stout Cornell

First breakfast beer this overcast Thursday morning.

Underground Mountain Brown Cornell

Different, but as good as KBS, and much cheaper! Hope it comes back this fall. A great breakfast/coffee beer!
