It's a Tuesday.. so why the fuck not?
About damned time that I ticked this.. finally landed some earlier this year, and well.. it was a shit day at work today. The prefect excuse to crack it
Founders Brewing Co - KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout)
an 11.2% ABV 70 IBU Bourbon Barrel-aged Stout. Fun fact I learned, the KBS base beer is in fact NOT FBS! Who'da thunk? They use a slightly different base beer for the KBS and the CBS (Canadian Breakfast Stout - barrel-aged with maple syrup). This is a thick, dark brown pour with a faint mocha head. Coffee and chocolate are dominant on the nose with some vanilla/bourbon sweet notes. This is a ridiculously smooth beer for over 10%.. toffee, chocolate and coffee hit you first with a bourbon sweetness that is cloying light. The name of the game for this beer is deception.. you'd never guess 11.2% from the nose or taste.. all booze is hidden harder than that one douche in 2nd grade who would always win at Hide and Go Seek. It's not as mind-blowing as the hype would make it out to be, but it's an awesome BB Stout with the added uniqueness of being an oatmeal stout, adding more body than the usual stout. An awesome beer, for sure
