Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS)

Sampled at the ’Butter’s Last Supper’ tasting. For curly’s 500th rating. Pours a jet black with traces of dark brown head. Nose is complex coffee, anise, bourbon. Flavor is vanilla, chocolate, and more bourbon, but without the expected alcohol burn. Very spectacular despite the pricetag.

Sexy black pour. Smells like the best breakfast ever. Coffee, smoky delicious savory aromas. Wonderful creamy, savory mouth feel. Very slick. Awesome.

Pours a lasting ring of tan head with a dark brown body. Coffee, oats, and earth aroma. Flavor notes of coffee, oatmeal, hint of cocoa, some vanilla, roasted. Oily body with a lasting finish.

Beer number 500! Pours solid black with a very thin brown head that recedes quickly. Aroma is vanilla, smooth bourbon, milk chocolate, and hop spice. Taste is smooth vanilla, darker chocolate, and cocoa. Very good texture, nice and thick cocoa and marshmallow feel on the finish.

Bottle thanks to dukefan. Black pour with a brown head. Aroma is coffee grounds, dirt, earth, ash tobacco. Flavor is coffee, vanilla, bourbon, chocolate. Great palate.

On tap at Founders brewpub. Pours thick viscous black with a nice creamy tan head. Aroma has a ton of coffee, espresso, very pungent. Lots of roasted choc malt and some alcohol. Also getting some molasses, burnt marshmallows and licorice. Flavor starts very sweet with the molasses, lots of oak, and bourbon, very nice woody character behind all of the sweet toasty malts. Big alcohol kick in the finish that trails for some time through the swallow. Full bodied and rich. Very nice beer, especially at the brewery.

Black color with a tan head. Aroma of bourbon, coffee, wood, chocolate, and roasted malts. Needs to warm. Flavor of coffee, chocolate, roasted malts and a fine bourbon finish. Easily one of the best ever.

Love it. Smells like a Hershey chocolate bar with a strong alcohol presence. The taste is bold and complex. Dark chocolate and coffee smack you in the face followed by a strong bourbon aftertaste. Its warming, delicious, and everything I want in a stout.
