    I think it's technically a 100% markup.

    Publick House was $8.50 for a 12oz. Seemed fair to me.

    This current release is fairly hot and very strong in the coffee department. The first time I had KBS was a 2012 vintage in February and it was perfect then. Time to age the remaining bottles...

    The shame in aging coffee beers is that while the heat might fade a bit, the coffee flavor will just oxidize. I drink my aged KBS with a turbo shot.

    Considering bottles of it are going for $5-$10 a pop depending on where you are, $8.50 for a pour (in Boston no less) is damn reasonable. Nice find!

    Salty Pig, I hate you. Until you release something else fantastic (M-F) I will not visit your establishment.

    The pours I had at Publick House weren't very hot at all. Dominated by a chocolate sweetness.

    The bottle I had wasn't hot, although there was some alcohol towards the end...but I wouldn't call it hot. All I got was chocolate and coffee...then again maybe I have a different tolerance for the booziness

    To clarify:
    By "hot", I meant bourbon/charred wood aromas. The booziness was okay on the 2013 bottle

    Sunset Grill & Tap originally said on Twitter that they were tapping the KBS on Monday(today) but I see on their Facebook that they seem to have moved it to Tuesday?

    "On Tuesday, we are tapping a keg of Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout. We have the regular on tap too, so taste the difference before it disappears. While supplies last."
