Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS)

In short, one of the best Imperial stouts ever brewed. Tried on tap at the brewery. Smooth blend of rich roasted malt, oak, and bourbon flavors creating a robust, stately, gentleman’s drink. Subtle flavors abound, to complex for description. Clean palate, with a great decrescendo finish.

An interesting brew good aroma with strong hints of oak and coffe with like a sugary taste. a little bit of a tangy after taste though

Pours a slick viscous body. Minimal head that disappears quickly and no carbonation. Lies lifeless in the glass. But wait, there is life. A pungent aroma slowly climbs out of the glass and wafts across the room. Rich and powerful. Roasted malts, strong bitter coffee, light alcoolic notes and raisins. Color is black with a light crimson ring around the top in a strong light. Strong and flavorful. Lots of coffee and roasted grains hit you up front. Light alcohol presence is masked in all of the flavor. Brown sugar, molasses and carbon mixes in mid swallow. Burbon is present in just a touch and melds very well with the other flavors. Finishes a little dry and bitter. Big and powerful brew but amazingly easy drinking. A top notch impy.

A big thanks to hopscotch for bringing this one along so a few of us could have our first chance at tasting it. Black pour with light brown head. Very dark looking brew. The aroma is huge with coffee grounds first then burnt malts and hints of a barrel age odor. The taste starts with burnt malts and bourbon. Then the coffee starts to take hold followed by alcohol and wood that deliver the taste experience to the finish. Into the after taste I get sweet caramel, molasses and more coffee. Wow, this beer has a huge flavor that just punish the palate into sweet sublime submission.

Pour: so black! thick bodied, resembles motor oil. Head: creamy, thick, dark tan. Aroma: coffee, dark roast, alcohol, sweet. Flvaor: coffee, very roasty, alcohol. Palate: smooth. Finish: very roasty and warm.

5/24/07. 12 oz. Trade with OhioDad.Thanks. Viscous pour. Deep deep black almost opaque with a very small brown head. Dense coffee aroma which overpowers any Bourbon. Amazingly good mouthfeel. Coffee and whiskey taste but mainly coffee with a very nice bitterness. Luckily not overpowering coffee. Overall very good.
