Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)
I stopped into the Sunset Tap to sample this brew. I was not disappointed. Served in a snifter, this brew pours a nice deep brown, almost black. A long lasting brown tinged head sits on top of the beer. The smell is outstanding. Roasted malts, chocolate, dark fruit all play off each other very nicely. It was at first served a bit too cold, so I let it sit for 10 minutes or so, which was a challenge in itself. Needless to say I was rewarded for my patience. The taste of the roasted malts, chocolate and slight fruitiness were all there, along with a slight bouron background which was outstanding. Not too carbonated. A nice smooth mouthfeel throughout. The beer finished with a slightly bitter coffee finish, which any coffee fanatic would love as well. Overall, this is an outstanding beer. Try it. My only complaint was that my one beer trip turned into a 2 beer trip at the Sunset as I had to order another KBS.
