Tasted against a SMS, liked KBS slightly better.

4.25 Release day - Fresh. Seemed not as thick and rich as I remember the fresh KBS from 2016 being.

Very good 4.25 at 5 months- maybe better than fresh was

4 -

4 Disappointing - not as good as last year. Thin and too coffee dominant

4.0 Very good, but not as sweet as a traditional EBW (JW Lees etc.), and slightly more balanced but certainly not as hoppy as an ABW.

4.25+ vanilla bourbon barrel with a little heat, subtle coffee and sweet burnt sugar

good - i think better fresh

4.25 very good, smooth marshmallow sweet.

10 months. 4.375 - coffee pretty much gone. still sweet and tasty, w/ burnt sugar, toasty roasted marshmallow. Drink fresher. Definitely need to have this warmer - 45-55 is too low at the low end. 55 is best.
