    I saw KBS and thought Kentucky Breakfast Stout. Is this a KBS clone or does KBS mean something else?

    Let us know how it turns out...where I live I can't get KBS without buying one on eBay, and I haven't had the pleasure of trying one. If this is close, I'll have to brew it and get the next best thing.

    I bet this would be good with some red velvet pancakes.

    Is one or two months long enough for this? Founders ages theirs for 1 year in their special mines. Im brewing this next month so tasting notes would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
