May 21, 2009 As a huge fan of the Breakfast Stout, the KBS was a must try. It really is a whole different beer from the bourbon, but to me it drank like a perfectly BA dark chocolate milkshake. Absolutely fantastic!

Feb 2, 2007 Updated: Mar 2, 2007A top 5 all-time brew the day I brought it home. After 9 months in the cellar, my tasting notebook says, simply: "The greatest."

May 28, 2007 Updated: Jun 12, 2008Pitch black pour with little to no head on it. Some of the finest espresso bean aroma hits you right off the bat. A faint bourbon linger sneaks up on me like a some crazy ninja would, being very subtle but lethal. Viscous mouth feel that holds tight throughout. A malty, brown sugar and vanilla start finishes into fine coffee/espresso with just enough of a bourbon taste that doesn’t overpower it. Very fine brew, I’m just pleased I was able to get my hands on a couple of bottles. 9-5-9-5-19
Re-Rate: Draft at the brewery pours a pitch, midnight black with a medium-sized rocky, tan head. Mild bourbon aroma hits you immediately followed by a mix of dark roasted malt, espresso, dark brown sugar and chocolate. A sweet vanilla bean taste imparts itself upon my mouth and is backed by a smooth chocolate and coffee essence. Notes of the bourbon come through on the finish. Just Phenomenal. 10-5-9-5-19

Aug 26, 2007 Updated: Oct 15, 2007Thanks to BillVanE for sharing those 2 with me. Great way to start the day! Beautiful imp stout. Really loved the bourbon and coffee taste, which is surprising since i really dont like coffee a lot. Really need get get a case of this and just let it sit in the cellar, having one once in a while.

Aug 1, 2009 Wow. If I only had one thing to say it would be wow. Poured from a bottle with virtually no head and is very, very dark. The taste unparalleled. The aroma is amazing. I actually started laughing after smelling this beer in anticipation of the taste. Has a tingly aftertaste. You can taste and smell a hint of coffee. This was truly nailed on the head. Wow.
