beer_name: Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)
text: Pours black as crude oil and is topped by one finger brown head following a medium pour. Head is filled with multiple bubble sizes and has settled to a pretty thin lace after a few minutes or so. Pretty darn good head retention for a beer so high in alcohol. Smell is roasty, sweet, woody, and slightly boozy all wrapped up in one pleasing aroma. Wow! This is incredibly smooth, yet interesting and complex at the same time. I definitely get dark chocolate and a hint of vanilla. There's also the smooth thickness you expect from a good Oatmeal Stout. And to top things off...it's aged in bourbon barrels! What more could one ask for? Nice full bodied mouthfeel with a carbonation level that's absolutely spot on. Been waiting to try this for a while, and it's definitely an elite Imperial Stout. Morey's Bottom Line: I had to do some driving as well as some smooth talking just to score a couple of bottles of this. Quite honestly, as good as this is...I don't think that I'd do it again. It's fantastic, but so is FBS, Founders Imperial Stout, Heresy and Ten Fidy among others. If it's easier to get next year, I'll definitely pick some up.
