Founders KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) | Grand Rapids, Michigan | Imperial Stout | 11.2% ABV

Served semi-chilled from a 12 oz bottle and poured into a tulip glass. Pours a deep black color with a two finger tan foam head. Smells are of espresso beans, cocoa and bourbon. Carbonation is moderate with a full body. Taste is coffee and chocolate up front, with hints of vanilla and oak in the middle and finishing with bourbon. 

The tasting of the 2015 was different than what I remembered. Personally, I thought the beer was a bit unbalanced. Parts of the tastes were very flavorful, with a huge amount of coffee and chocolate. Other parts were heavy on the bourbon. And a few sips tasted really watery. Obviously this was not the intent, an I could have had a "bad batch." Even a bad batch of KBS though sure beats most imperial stouts. I have 3 more bottles from 2015 plus one 2014 left, so perhaps I will revisit this one in the fall.
