Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)
Poured from a bottle into a nonic pint glass. A: Jet syrupy black with a minimal light brown head. Almost no glass lacing. S: Holy crap. Grab on, cause here we go. Loads of bittersweet dark chocolate with the bourbon alcohol smell. Traces of espresso slide in too. T: Wow, loads and loads of dark chocolate, heavy bourbon flavor, espresso, burnt coffee, roasted malts, vanilla and a finish that is bitter. Oh my god this is one complex amazing beer. Finish is bitter chocolate that just sits in the mouth. M: Wow, it just coats and lays in the mouth. What an amazing feel. Alcohol is noticable, but for this massive beer it should be and makes it all that much more enjoyable. D: Good, this was sooo enjoyable. Could you session these? No way, but one bottle is oh so enjoyable and drinkable. Overall this is a top, top notch Imperial stout. Before this Storm King was my absolute favorite, but this beer is amazing and is utlimately better. For such a rare and hard to get beer this one does not disappoint. Scratch, beg, steal do whatever you have to in order to try this beer, it is worth every bit of it.
