Had this fresh last July and remember the blueberry being a little too tart. A year later and the blueberry tartness has mellowed out some and makes for a more balanced flavor profile. Better balance of blueberry and chocolate flavor. Still lacks barrel.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Georgatos
Closing in on 5 years old and holding strong. Had the 2023 version earlier this month and while all the flavors are still there they are all a little muted in comparison to the 2023 version, particularly the maple and barrel flavor. Still very good.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023) Georgatos
This is a great barrel aged stout. The balance of flavors is excellent with none of them overpowering the other. Coffee, chocolate, maple and bourbon barrel are all present.

Silly me, didn’t take a picture of this one. Bottled in late 2022 & still holding strong. Last had this a year ago. Complex flavors come out as it warms. Slightly sweet maple & caramel flavor with a boozy kick on the finish. Always enjoy a good wheatwine!

French Toast Bastard (Barrel Aged Series 2022) Georgatos
Bottled in September 2022 and the sweet maple flavor is holding strong. 11.1% ABV is well hidden behind the sweetness. Not getting much of the Scottish ale or barrel flavor.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Georgatos
Trying to pull some old ones out. This one bottled in October 2020 and has held up great. Creamy fudge flavor with some maple sweetness on the back end. Not much barrel flavor but that is typical of KBS beers for me.

New KBS variant for the 20 year anniversary of KBS!! Slightly sweet and tart blueberry flavor up front, then some chocolate and slight roasted coffee finish. Better as it warms which seems to take the edge of the tartness.

Back to the cellar for this one. Bottled in October 2019 & has held up very well. Smooth coffee & slightly sweet chocolate &maple flavor. Barrel flavor is still present. I think flavors have mellowed out but still very good. Maybe Founders makes it again.

Bottled in August 2021 and has held up well. I let this one warm up and I think it helps the roasted coffee flavor come through. The barrel flavor isn’t overpowering but present. Nice balance of flavor.

Bottled a year ago and still holding up well. Sweet mango up front with plenty of spicy habanero on the back end. Definitely a unique beer!!

Sticking with my original score on this one. Slightly sweet maple and vanilla flavor. The barrel aging give it a strong ABV kick. Very unique flavor profile and well done wheat wine. Wish the KBS series were as unique as this offering from Founders.

From the stash and approaching 2 years old. Imperial brown ale with slightly sweet vanilla and chocolate flavor. Barrel flavor makes a small appearance on the back end. Makes me wish Founders would make Underground Mountain Brown ale again.

Chocolate Cherry KBS Georgatos
New KBS variant with chocolate up front & a cherry tart finish. Smooth & balanced flavor. Not much barrel but still very good. Feel like KBS has become somewhat stale over the years with nothing really standing out anymore. Still good but nothing unique.

Cellared beer time!! This one bottled in April 2021. For a sour, this is one of the better ones. While still sour and tart, the salt and tequila tame it some. This is a margarita beer!! Has really aged well
