These are two of the rarest, hardest-to-find beers out there. Founders KBS, or Kentucky Breakfast Stout, is the bourbon-barrel-aged version of their Breakfast Stout. That’s pretty awesome on its own, but the natural sweetness of the bourbon barrel pairs perfectly with the right coffee flavor. It’s a limited release that can be near impossible to find in stores — some places will raffle off chances to purchase it. Bars will get one keg at a time, usually for an entire year unless they have some outstanding connections.
The Bulldog in Baton Rouge did happen to have a keg a few weeks back, so I was able to try some of this year’s variation.
