Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

This was the second time I had had the KBS, both times on tap. The first time was the Extreme Beer Fest, so I could appreciate it more this time. I had remembered it being sweeter the first time but more chocolatey this time. At any rate, I was much more impressed this time. It was served in a goblet at the brewpub. A: Jet black body with no head.
# 600 Bottle from sliffy. Thanks for the killer bonus, Dan! I actually like this version quite a bit better than the Breakfast Stout. Everything seems more rounded and balanced and without the bitter coffee astringincy. Aroma of wet wood, coffee grounds, some bourbon, and both semisweet and milk chocolate. Pours oily black with a thin dark brown he
jet black. no head. oily. bitter chocolate and coffee. similar in the taste. semi burnt coffee, bittersweet chocolate with a milk chocoalte taste in the finish. light bourban and vanilla. oily smooth mouthfeel. alcohol is really well hidden. love this.
