I suppose if a style of beer was initially brewed for a British colony, the least I can do is close out the evening (morning?) with the newest variant of what is often considered the standard of the style. God save the King. Hoppy, malty, big, rich. Wow
2020 version. Chocolatey coffee nose. Rich palate. Coffee, chocolate, decadent but not overpowering. Has mellowed nicely in the last few years. No perceptible booziness Fantastic.
My favorite KBS variant. Two years old at this point. Dense pour. Rich fudgy nose. Fudge, maple, chocolate, rich delicious decadence. To each their own, but I just don't understand how this isn't the best KBS variant. Ever. Fantastic.
Checking another KBS box tonight, only one I hadn't tried. Cherry chocolate nose. Malty, rich, roasty. A lot more cherry than I expected. Very much a cherry cordial in a bottle. Solid, but prefer the other versions.
Dipping into the stout shelf of the beeridge. Snagged this a few weeks ago. Nutty rich nose. Nutty, roasty palate. Rich, robust and malty. Excellent. First time having this KBS variant. Delicious.
As much as I love Dos, hard to go light at home when you start with a 12% stout. Damn it Casey. Rich, vanilla and maple notes. Big but smooth. Excellent. Props to my boy Michael M. for the hook up on this one. Thanks brotha!
