This beer taught us that patience truly is a virtue. KBS is a big imperial stout brewed with a massive amount of coffee and chocolate and then bourbon barrel-aged to perfection. Incredibly silky and full-bodied with notes of vanilla, cocoa, roasted coffee and charred oak.

Whats not to love about this beer...its as silky as a ribbon of dark chocolate dipped in a shot of vanilla espresso. The bourbon is a bonus to the perfection of this creature.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of tan head that lingers. Big coffee focused nose with bourbon and cacao nib as it warms. More of the same on the palate with lingering coffee and dark chocolate and warming bourbon on the finish. This year's bottle has a bit more acridity than in past years.

355ml bottle from hopt.it, France. 2019 vintage. Pours fairly dense, dark brown, almost black, with minimal brown foam. Rich in residue in the glass. Aroma is rich of molasses, some chocolate and vanilla, nutty, ripe figs. Body is a little oily, medium dense, with soft ticking carbonation. Some alcoholic feeling. Taste is fairly sweet, also spicy like chili peppers. Final is long, of medium strength, with more maltiness and chili.
