So well made, but not in balance yet...time to go older!

2007 dark rich baking chocolate creme texture with a dark strap molasses, chocolate brownie, dark caramel. Lovely at a great spot. Mind blowing.

Chocolate and vanilla all day. Shocker, lots of bourbon notes. It actually tastes like a slightly boozier version of Founders Backwoods Bastard, despite being a stout and not a scotch ale. Will let this one age another year or two before I have the next bottle.

Mmmnnn. Caramel, molasses mixed with the sweet burn of alcohol.

Everything I love in beer - so good! Weight, depth, finish - so much flavor. Chocolate, bourbon, complexity - and the nose alone is worth the price of admission. Yum.

Very smooth. Hot. But the extra years have speed it to mellow. Chocolate, roasted malts. A little vanilla. A nice BCS. I still prefer Founders KBS.
