Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS)

Brewed by Founders Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Grand Rapids, Michigan USA

bottle. pours pitch black with brown head. cold coffee aroma lots. very thick consistency. lots and lots of coffee and some burbon as well.

Re-rate. Bottle. Pours an oily black with tiny brown head that retreats quickly. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, dark roasted malts, bourbon , oak. Taste is chocolate, coffee, bourbon, alcohol, malt. Palate is super viscous, ultra full bodied. A spoon stands straight up in the glass. Phenominal!!

Pitch black with a finger high dark tan head. Very strong coffee ground aroma, a bit of vanilla and toffee. Flavor is coffee, dark chocolate, toffee, vanilla, and a just a tad bit of bourbon, but that is a stretch even. Amazingly hides the alcohol almost completely. Dry, slightly sweet finish with a little bit of carbonation. Thick and almost chalky, not quite. Very enjoyable.

re-rate 4/26/07 Got a fresh bottle, wow what a difference between this beer and the aged one I am glad I finally got my hands on this the bourbon isn’t as strong and taste better the coffee comes out nice a small amount of smoke this was a far better beer. I guess the bottle I had didn’t age well my 1st rating was on 3/28/07 and was a 2.5 I have had this bottle for about a year and decided to give it a try a couple of days ago. All I have got to say is that either I got a bad bottle or they used some cheap bourbon barrels, ( I like jack and I do like bb beers) unless this did not age well or like I said I might have gotten a bad bottle.now the rating. poured black with a tan head that didn’t last long. aroma cocoa alcohol, coffee, smoke,did get some vanilla. flavor a nasty bourbon, ash tray, some coffee, the chocolate come out at the very end. I went looking for this beer today to buy a 4 pack at my favorite beer store and they didn’t have any I am glad they didn’t.

Bottle from STFUN! Dark black color, small toffee colored head that dissappeared quickly. Nice aroma of bourbon and coffee. It is really smooth. Taste is vanilla, coffee and hint of bourban. Texture was medium. Over all, a great beer. Thanks josh!

Thanks to Hoppymeal for getting this to me. Awesome brew. Pours a thick and oily black color with a thin dark brown head. Aroma is thick dark chocolate, roast and a kick of bourbon. Mouthfeel is also thick and juicy. Flavors are bourbon and chocolate. This is delicious.

Super dark pour, aroma of coffee, malt and a bit of smoke. Virtually no carbonation, but the beer is pretty active and lively in the mouth. Given the name, I was expecting a bourbon blast once the glass hit my mouth, but the barrel aging seems rather subdued. There are so many of these big bold barrel aged stouts out there that you really have to be excellent to make any kind of impression. Prior to this beer, I had a Goose Island Bourbon County Stout, and it was miles ahead of this. This one left me a bit unsatisfied.

A good solid RIS. Pours black with wisps of brown head. Light cannot stream through this stuff. The nose is coffee with a hint of sesame and chocolate. Tastes very much like a frappiccino - very smooth, can’t taste any of the 10% in this. Not much bourbon in the nose - a little, but the coffee really hits you in this. That’s a good thing tho.
