Bourbon Barrel-Aged Chocolate Coffee Stout

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.

My last dusty bottle from the stash. Another that I'd say has held up well after almost 6 years. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, molasses, coffee. Taste has a lot sweet dark chocolate, coffee, molasses, some creamy vanilla and oak, warming bourbon finish. Smooth, medium-full bodied. Great.
