Founders KBS video review. One of the best Imperial stouts in the world? Thoughts?

For me Im not convinced there is an imperial stout on the market as drinkable and well crafted as Founders KBS. What do you guys think? This beer is a perfect example of how much time and passion goes into a great beer. Let me know what you think

I completely agree with you. There was only two kegs of KBS shipped to Wisconsin and I was lucky enough to get a glass of it. I couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the night. Just amazing

HAHA yeah I know the feeling! i just had a 5oz pour yesterday at my local beer bar and that keg sold out in under an hour.

I haven't seen it yet. I'm less than 2 hours from the brewery and am anxiously waiting to pick up a 4-pack. It's a very special treat. I think it's a fantastic beer and honestly, I think Founders has stretched itself too thin lately. At this point I doubt I'll be seeing it at my bottle shop. Hopefully this is a temporary situation, and after they get their capacity upgraded they can get back to having enough so that anyone can find it if they try. I think they are just shipping to too many people.

So I'm a bit bummed, but it gives me incentive to brew something like it myself. Only problem is; I was hoping to get a couple so I could use them to build a good recipe.
