Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout Craft Beer Review – The King of Stouts

Awarding Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) a 5-star rating is no understatement. Hailing from the United States, this heavyweight Imperial Stout is truly a pinnacle of craft brewing.

Founders Brewing Company, renowned for their creativity and commitment to quality, have outdone themselves with KBS, a unique concoction which is equal parts complex, powerful, and delicious.

KBS is an Imperial Stout brewed with a colossal amount of coffee and chocolates, then cave-aged in oak bourbon barrels for a year to ensure thoroughness in producing its incredibly rich, deep, and intense flavors.

Pouring an inky black with a generous tan head, the beer greets the senses with an intoxicating bouquet of dark chocolate, fresh-brewed coffee, and bourbon. The barrel aging adds an extra layer of complexity, contributing notes of vanilla, oak, and a hint of sweet bourbon heat.

The first sip reveals a symphony of flavors – bitter-sweet chocolate, dark roast coffee, caramel, and vanilla, all complemented by a warming bourbon presence. The full-bodied mouthfeel, the perfect carbonation, and the silky smoothness from the oats make it a joy to drink.

The finish is long, satisfying, and warm, the bourbon and chocolate lingering in a beautiful balance. Despite its high alcohol content, KBS is surprisingly drinkable, with the alcohol nicely integrated and never overpowering.

Whether enjoyed as an after-dinner treat or savored on a lazy afternoon, Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout is a delightful journey of flavors that will satisfy even the most discerning beer lovers. This robust, bourbon barrel-aged stout is nothing short of a masterpiece in a bottle.
