Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)
Finally got my hands on some KBS!!! And damn it was worth the wait! A: This beer pours a rich deep, dark, opaque black. No real head sits on this one, but a brown film sits on top and stays throughout. Very spotty, minimal lacing is left on the glass. S: Nose is of rich roasted malts, coffee, milk chocolate and light hints of bourbon. T: Taste starts with a touch of caramel sweetness, hints of vanilla and perhaps a touch of dark fruits. Rich prominant coffee flavoring mingled with milk chocolate comes in. Roasted and burnt malts then take over made bitter with some baker's chocolate. Bourbon then begins to creep in ridiculously smooth. Finish is light continued bourbon flavoring mingled back with more coffee notes. M: Medium to full bodied, low carbonation, rich and creamy with a chewy finish. D: This beer is ridiculously and dangerously smooth. Well balanced, quite complex, flavors play off one another, and great representation of the style!
