Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)
09 (08?, the one that was released in Spring 09) vintage at Stoutfest. Same basic review as my bottle on with some improvements. The aggression is gone. Pitch black with dark tan head and cloud. Good lacing for aged beer. Taste and smell of cocoa, bourbon, vanilla, roast malts, big coffee, alcohol. Balance is amazing with an extra year of age. Smell is of great strength. Cocoa, coffee and barrel whiskey rules in balance. No more overaggressive alcohol, oak and bourbon. This beer needs age! MF is thick, warm, and low carbonation, very good. Drinkable besides the price, so amazing with age.
