KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)

About

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) is a renowned barrel-aged stout from Founders Brewing Company in Michigan. This imperial stout is brewed with premium chocolate and coffee, then aged in bourbon barrels for a year. The aging process introduces rich notes of vanilla, cocoa, and charred oak, creating a complex flavor profile. KBS is known for its full-bodied texture and deep black color, with a moderate head that fades quickly. The aroma of KBS is complex, featuring woody, earthy, and boozy notes alongside coffee and chocolate. The flavor profile is equally rich, with espresso-like coffee, smooth chocolate, and a sweet caramel malt sweetness. The bourbon barrel aging adds a deep oak character and a hint of vanilla, balancing the bold flavors. KBS is a masterpiece of barrel-aging, offering a sophisticated drinking experience that evolves with temperature, making it a delight to savor slowly.
