Founders KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Imperial Stout

Founders KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Imperial Stout.

12 % ABV, 45 IBU. Founders Brewing, Grand Rapids, MI. 


Solid blackness, thoroughly opaque, slim ring of brown foam above. 

In the nose: Creaminess. Vanilla first, then along comes cinnamon, and plenty of cocoa on the side. Everything else stands below. 

In the mouth: Spice hits first, surrounded by cocoa. Cinnamon bomb, some might say. Vanilla pops up and mingles. Big cocoa. Spice flits throughout. High ABV gives it a kick. The coffee and the bourbon barrels are in here somewhere, but they're swallowed up by the cinnamon. Rich, spicy, delicious. 

Here’s one for the cocoa lovers: KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa – the sumptuous, deep coffee and chocolate flavors of KBS rise to the next level with a swirl of cinnamon and a hint of vanilla to create a sweet-but-not-too-sweet barrel-aged drinking experience. It’s a whole new spin on KBS that’s sure to sweeten your spirits.
