Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2014) B
No carbonation. Disappointing, since it took 10 years to get here. Not the beer’s fault, so I won’t change my normal rating.

Hard to belt this beer is 9 years old. It’s been refrigerated ever since. It’s probably lost a bit, but is still quite good. I won’t change my rating.

I think the cinnamon overwhelms the rest of the flavors. Too bad

About as close as you can get to a Belgian tripel. A bit sweeter than expected, but that was their goal.
