Bourbon County Vertical 2021 A little sediment and very little carbonation. Flavor still on point.

Phenomenal and is still drinking wonderfully.

Not as good as the 2013 and 2015, but still really good. Hopefully next year it will smooth out even more.

Something’s not quite right about this one. Not infected, but it’s like all the malt dropped out and all that’s left is the booze. Weird...
2018-11-09
Still great after 3 years. Better than 2016/2017. More molasses; newer ones are thinner.
2018-01-22
Tasting great after 2 years of aging. Happy Birthday to me!
2016-12-01
Really great aged even only 1 year.

This is really holding up very well. Lots of barrel, smooth/silky mouthfeel, and lots of chocolate and roasted malt.

Sadly not as good as 2016, which was not as good as 2015. This has an odd flavor profile and nose. Hoping my other bottles are better.

Super smooth, complex, boozy, chocolatey, and delicious. Left it a bit warmer than usual and that allows the flavors I love to shine right away.

Mmmm. Welcome back my old friend. This is the BC I fell in love with but haven’t had since 2014. Dark, malty, bourbony booziness. Yum

This one has not held up as well as others. Mouthfeel is a bit thin and while there’s barrel left on it, there’s a hint of bitterness as well. Hoping it gets better as it warms.

More chocolate than orange now. Still good.
2022-06-07
Definitely starting to show its age and the orange has changed a bit, but there’s plenty orange left and the base beer shines through beautifully.
2020-09-08
Still tons of orange. Super dark, chocolatey, malty, and sticky on the lips. I hope they make this again someday.
2020-06-13
Orange is still strong at the front. Holding up well.
2020-03-22
This one seems to have lost a bit of carbonation and the Orange has faded a bit. I bought this one more recently so maybe not stored well.

Tasted very different from fresh and has lost a little something. The base is shining through the blueberry and almond.
Drank 12 oz of KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) by Founders Brewing (2016-02-12)November 30th, 2022
2024-02-18
Lots of coffee and dark chocolate. Definitely taste the age, but still enjoyable.
2022-11-30
Definitely taste the age. Still tons of coffee. Best fresh.
2020-05-04
This was their off year. I will say while it wasn’t good overall, it seems to have held up to where it was back then. Still best fresh.
2020-01-18
Either this was the off year or this didn’t hold up well. Flavors aren’t right. Maybe it will improve as it warms.
2018-04-16
2 years later, it still hasn't improved much.
2018-01-06
Slightly better than it was when fresh, but still not up to the standards of other years.
2017-04-05
It now has a year on it and hasn't improved much. This year's is fantastic; 2016 still is not.
2016-09-08
Still not any better. I think this year's batch will need 2-3 years before it tastes decent.

2020-05-29
Really good. Lots of coffee at the front, followed by tons of dark chocolate. No loss of flavor after 1 year.
2020-05-06
Loads of dark chocolate with a hint of coffee. Finish is roasted malt and lingering dark chocolate. Held up well.
2019-03-16
Really good until the very end when bitterness sets in and becomes the only thing lingering on the palette.
