Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)
Served on tap at Foran's Grand Trunk Pub (Detroit, MI) Founders' event 8/4/2011: A - Deep dark color, so brown its almost black. Came to the table with a nice mocha colored head on it. S - First smell is of coffee, but sweeter, followed by an almost burnt caramel scent. T - Roasted taste hits up front, dark chocolate, with the unmistakeable flavors of bourbon. M - Coats the tongue without feeling syrupy. O - I was first introduced to Founders via their Breakfast Stout at many a Michigan Beer Night in Mt. Pleasant during my more formative College drinking years. After being made aware of KBS I've spent a long time tracking this beer down and was ready to be disappointed simply because of the build-up. Fortunately the beer did not disappoint one bit and my patience was rewarded with a great tasting beer. Would love to find this beer in the wild (i.e. bottled) next year and see how some age treats it.
