Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS)

(12oz bottle aged 1 year) Wow. Pours blacker than the darkest motor oil, with a thin brown head. Aroma smells like freshly ground coffee beans, bourbon and vanilla. Flavor has notes of coffee, chocolate, malts, bourbon, chalk and burnt wood. This beer is one of the most unique imperials that I have had. By that I mean: aroma, flavors, extremely smooth/creamy palate. Couldnt even detect the 10% alc. OUTSTANDING !!

Pours pitch black with little head. smell is somewhat boozy somewhat chalky with aroma of whiskey and heavy on coffee grounds. Flavor has a black cofee taste, you can really taste the fact that it was aaged in whiskey barrels.

Bottle from MaltOMeal at the December Houston tasting. Thanks! Pours deep black with a thin body and an aroma of used coffee grounds with a hint of bourbon oak. Flavor is bourbon-infused coffee, oak, and light caramel. Full mouthfeel. Nice, nice beer.

Pours pitch black with a minimal head. Aroma of coffee and some bourbon. Lots of coffee flavor up front, followed by alcohol, malt, chocolate, and a vanilla finish. Tough to improve on the regular Breakfast Stout, but they figured out a way. Amazing stuff.

Smells of bourbon and hints of coffe with a roasty malty aroma. Silky medium carbonation mouthfeel. AWESOME, coffee and toffy caramel flavors upfront, followed by the bourbon finish. Great beer not as drinkable IMO as ther regular breakfast stout, but all in all amazing

2008 bottle. Pours oily thick with very little caramel head. Good lacing. Aroma is first bourbon, coffee. Flavor is bourbon, coffee, cocoa, roasted malt, a little hot. A little bitter. Mouthfeel is thinner than expected. Mild carbonation. Doesnt coat the mouth as much yet it sits on your tongue for a while and drives home the strong bourbon and coffee flavors and ends bitter.

Bottle. Pours a deep black with a small tan head that fades to a ring. Rich aroma, of sweet burnt toasted malt, wood, bourbon, dark fruits, and coffee. Huge taste, of burnt, toasted malt, coffee, chocolate, dark fruits, caramel, vanilla, and ends with bourbon and wood flavors. Lingering wood, coffee and malt richness. Incredibly rich and amazing taste.

Thanks to Fantomas23 for the bottle!
Black with a rich dark tan head. You can still find some of the breakfast elements here. The bourbon gives the coffee nose a nutty quality, some wood. Flavor has more wood and bourbon, and the roast is largely more of a factor. A little milk chocolate as well. The mouth rather thin. Overall good, the barrel mellows some of the vegetal bite of the normal breakfast, but it’s still not very complex.
