Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS)

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

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.

12 oz bottle served into a snifter. This beer pours motor oil black with a very nice chocolate head. The aroma consists of coffee, bourbon, dark fruit and oak. The flavor follows the smell. The initial taste is bourbon and then it is followed with coffee and chocolate. The carbonation is just right and not overpowering. This beer is fantastic and deserves all the praise it gets. This is a must get for anyone.

Bottle - Pours jet black with a very small bubbly tan head. The aroma is a blast of coffee with a little bourbon burn The taste is really where this brew shines, with a strong coffee flavor up front, with vanilla and butterscotch flavors balancing it out a bit. The finish is a lot of roast with a bit of hop bite and a nice warming alcohol. Feels medium to medium-full bodied and a little oily. Just a fantastic brew.

Bottle. Pours almost completely black with a small reddish brown head. Aroma consists of bourbon, chocolate, and coffee. Taste starts with bourbon, continues with bourbon, and ends with bourbon. If you concentrate hard enough you can pick up some bitter chocolate and coffee in there somewhere.... Fantastic! I really like this one... just not as much as their breakfast stout.

Bottle fron Ughsmash. Pours jet black into the glass. Strong bitter coffee aroma seems to dominate. Light vanilla and bourbon. Smells alot like a flavored coffee. Sweet chocolate and coffee up front. Some vanilla, then moving into some bitter coffee and bourbon. Only a touch of woodiness. A touch of alcohol. No wonder stouts dominate the top 50, there are some damn good ones out there. Awesome.

Silky thick black liquid slides into the glass and created only a thin lid of gleaming brown bubbles. Strong coffee, roasted barley and dark chocolate in the aroma. A nice aroma, but for me nothing that is overly complex. Much like some of the IIPAs for hopheads, this is a stout for the stouties. LIght vanilla on the front of the palate. This is smooth and oh so rich in feel. Smooth bourbon, light vanilla and a rich chocolate flavors bounces about the mouth. A touch of toasted coconut and almond give a mild almond joy flavor. Easily quaffable. Much more enjoyable than the breakfast stout, for me. Rick, thick smooth and chocolaty. This is a beer stout shake with just a hint of bourbon that tickles the senses and is alluring and enticing. A wonderful brew.

on tap at michiga winter beer fest.A phenomal beer , pours a deeep black with a medium sized black head. lucious coffee flavor with a hint of bourbon, very nice mouthfeel , and a truly satisfying beverage.

Bottle. Black body, small dense tan head, woody nose with a healthy splash of bourbon and chocolate notes. Very strong whisky flavors, with coffee/chocolate very much in the background, and some burnet roastiness. Not for everyone, but I enjoyed it greatly.
