(Five variant KBS vertical) Poured from 355mL bottle (bb 27.10.2018 - 11.7%; thanks Farees). Very dark brown with small beige head. Feint maple, bourbon character comes more foward here compared to original KBS. The best balance of the vertical in my opinion. Held up despite it's age.

Soft and sweet. Dark brown. It's not as rich as I remember, mind you, but has a nice sugary note. I liked this beer better at the time - certainly more maple, and I swear more complexity. But of course it's now 8 years old and the richest impies are far richer than this is today. So I like it, but it's not going to slot into the peak impies anymore.

Definitely showing its age. Not much maple left, mild coffee roast, slight burnt notes, little autolysis
