Bought locally, bottled May 28th 2025.

Pours a clear copper with a fine layer of foam. Good retention and lacing.

Smell is cocoa, coffee, vanilla with light notes of Bourbon.

The taste is cocoa, coffee, vanilla, almost has a fudge taste. Leans on the sweetish side, the Bourbon is there but doesn't dominate. The alcohol is noticeable.

Close to if not full bodied, the carbonation fits nicely.

I would drink this again.

Pours clear deep gold with a small off white head. Smells of coffee, vanilla, and bourbon. It tastes sweet with coffee, bourbon, oak, chocolate, and vanilla. Interesting. It’s very good but for me it’s not on the level of the classic KBS.
