Review – KBS 2017 from Founders


If ever a beer screamed for 8oz or 10oz bottles, then KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) is one of those beers.

Out of the 22oz bomber bottle, the beer pours a super dark brown. I get the beer equivalent of a Mounds bar. Milk chocolate to spare along with a touch of near coconut sweetness. There is a bit of oak barrel note behind that initial chocolate bar start. It is not a sweet beer per se either. Not much bitterness though coffee is promised on the label. Has both a smoothness to it but also a bite as well. It doesn’t take too much of this beer to show its full effects. It is not a little beer.

I would find a molten lava cake and pair it with that. Just full on embrace the decadence of it.

Kosmicki certainly is amazing.
