Kentucky Breakfast Stout

ABV: 11.2%
IBU: 70
Serving type: 12oz bottle

Ap: Dark, dark brown. Not black, but totally opaque. Head is dark tan/brown, slow to form and quickly fades to a thin ring around the glass.

Ar: Heavy notes of coffee and bourbon. Hints of chocolate.

T: Dark roasted coffee, bourbon. Strong flavors hide the bitterness. Little to no alcohol warmth.

M: Heavy body, but smooth as silk. Light in carbonation.

I: An incredible beer to be sipped like fine whiskey, or straight espresso (or both at once).

My score: 5/5
Beer Advocate: A+
Rate Beer: 100
Pintley: 4.6/5

Had to drive nearly half an hour to find this beer. People in Pekin must not know good beer, 'cause everywhere on my side of the river was fresh out. Definitely worth the trip.
