Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)
12oz. 2009 - 11.2% ABV. Pours black with a milk-chocolate colored head that has good retention and leaves a decent lacing. Aromas are full - strong bourbon barrel, coffee, chocolate, alcohol, and roasted malts. I'm already satisfied with my purchase. Mouth-feel is medium-bodied, but creamy and smooth. Tastes are of rich dark chocolate, espresso, bourbon, vanilla, and roasted malts that come across as sweet rather than bitter. Alcohol is present but not overbearing. Definitely a sipper, but it's so good I can't resist the next sip. Finishes somewhat sweet, but has hints of spiciness like black pepper, which help balance it nicely. Out of this world good and it was better than I anticipated! I am glad I still have 3 left.
