Kentucky Breakfast Stout, or Kentucky Bourbon Stout, as I have never heard of the latter?
Whatever the KBS stands for...its aged in Burbon barrels!
Kentucky Breakfast Stout - aged in Bourbon barrels.
From Founders.com
And I will be having bottle number three tonight!
Agreed. A delicious and beautifully put together and well balanced beverage.
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery: At this very moment, I am sipping a glass of the legendary KBS from Founder's.
it was awesome, complex, nutty, really organic coffee flavor. The same place had Dirty Bastard for $8.99 which is a terrific price, I'm knocking back a few of those right now

Have you ever tried The Backwoods Bastard? That is a powerful beer.
Enjoy your Dirty Bastard - I've had it and enjoyed it, a fine beer.
I have, it's quite a bastard
( the ABV is a bit crazy) You know, all the specialty Founders brews are certainly fantastic, I just find the enjoyment to cost ratio is a _touch_ low, though the limited editions are meant to be appreciated for just a limited time, so it's not like I'm buying and consuming several 4-packs a week.Thanks!

Thanks!
Yes, it is indeed "quite a bastard", and yes, I agree, that the ABV is quite........powerful. To put it mildly.
A winter beer, sweet, smooth, soothing (and deceptively so).
Personally, I like those 'specialty' beers from Founder's, but they are not 'session' beers, rather, they are somewhat akin to the beers you encounter in those gorgeous pubs in Brussels where you sit, and sip, and savour, something special for the best part of an hour or so. And, then, maybe have a second, sipped and savoured even more slowly......
A rather elegant Belgian beer, an extremely good "dry hopping" beverage called "St Feuillien Grand Cru".
A sour beer, delightfully tart, called "Surette Provision Saison" from the Crooked Stave brewery.
I understand the Viognier grape is also grown in New Zealand and Australia. Have you tried them?
From New Zealand and Australia?
No, as a matter of fact, I haven't.
Actually, I didn't even know Viognier was (or is) grown anywhere in the New World. Fascinating.
It is a pretty hefty wine (for a white - as we had a rich chorizo, potato and hake dish, I was of the opinion that a reasonably robust wine- and a white - would be called for). 2014 is the year, and the wine is a lovely rich one.
Had on Tap, Left Hand Brewing Company's "Fade to Black Vol. 1". Oh boy was it good. If you get a chance to try it, I recommend it. Again, I had it on tap so I don't know what the difference if any would be between the bottled versus the tapped version. But man was it good.
I think I have come across some of the products (at least one or two) of the Left Hand Brewing Company and found them excellent. Anyway, I will note this particular beer for the future in case fate ever allows our respective paths to cross.
