Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)
Pours jet black with a mocha head that recedes to tan film and some spotty lace. Nose is an immediate dose of coffee and chocolate, deepened by dark spicy wood, smoke, and a very nice bourbon-liquor aroma. The best approximation I can make in taste is like taking a bite of the richest, darkest, most decadent chocolate cake I've ever had. Plenty of coffee is rounded by rich luscious malt, along with smooth chocolate and burnt wood. Some bourbon and a very subtle bitterness come out at the finish with nice soft vanilla and oak flavors. Feel is smooth, with nice texture and soft carbonation. Taste is great, very satisfying. High abv makes it unwise to consume a lot, but with every sip I want just a little more.
