Nov 25, 2009 On draft at Monk’s. Pours jet black, small mocha head. Rich bitter chocolate and coffee aroma, vanilla and bourbon. Unfortunately, flavor is very boozy with a bit too much bourbon. I may be in the minority, but this is my least favorite of the three (Canadian, regular, then Kentucky).

Nov 21, 2009 12 oz bottle: pours jet black with a small cinnamon colored head. Aroma is strong of coffee with hints of chocolate, oak and vanilla. Flavor is coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and caramel. The bourbon flavor is nicely integrated. This beer has a nice long finish. Some stouts seems to have a bitter, astringent finish, while this beer has a nice mellow mocha/milk chocolatey finish. The 11.2% is well hidden. To me this is a dangerously drinkable beer.

Nov 21, 2009 Really ashy in the aroma. It’s weird how a lot of coffee stouts get this aroma. Real coffee never smells this way. The flavor remains ashy. This one isn’t as tasty as I hoped.

Nov 15, 2009 Nitro-tap @ Founders.
8oz pour into snifter.
A - A silky black with a fluffy head with a tight tan color. Super sticky, lots of lacing along the edge of the snifter. The head does not disipitate at all, it just hangs around.
S - Chocolate covered coffee beans, bourbon, caramel.
T - Milk chocolate, bourbon, slight bitterness, coffee beans. I would smack my lips together over and over after every taste, so good!
M - Smooth, creamy, soft, medium-full bodied but not overly so, just right. Very little fizzy carbonation, perfect.
D - So easy, so scary!
I didn’t think KBS could get better but out of the nitro-tap, it is!
Serving type: nitro-tap

Nov 15, 2009 bottle, 2008 vintage, pours black with a dark tan head; good lacing. Aroma is chocolate and bourbon with a roasted malt and oat note. Nice roasted malt and bourbon flavors with some coffee and bakers chocolate. Mellow mouthfeel with little to no alcohol presence. Awesome barrel aged brew!

Nov 13, 2009 Hugely dark pour with a minimal head. Aroma is a knockout with bourbon, chocolate, and smoked woody notes. Flavor brings in sweet dates, oaky hints, and a bit of roasted coffee beans. Finally, ’coffee’ done right, not overpowering. The malted milk flavors are amazing, and the coffee aspects have given way to the bourbon notes. A bit of age has done wonders here. Fantastic brew.

Nov 12, 2009 Tap at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor, Awesome beer - this one on tap is phenomenal. There was little head, and a deep dark mean look. The flavor and palate stick with you and its not too sweet to enjoy over a few pints. This is one of the best stouts - easy hands down.
