Not sure this belongs in this forum but I'm having my first Founder's KBS of the year. Who else has had it this year and how do they keep making this better?

Also, how about some nice clone recipes for us brewers at home?

This definitely on Michigan's Mt. Rushmore.

I will be trying this recipe very very soon. This is one of my absolute favorites and I just cannot get it here in FL. Thank God I have friends in low places, er......I mean North places!!!"
 
Not sure how close they are to the real thing, but Jasper's sells clone kits for both Kentucky Breakfast Stout and Breakfast Stout (extract or all grain). I'm actually brewing the Breakfast Stout clone today.
