KBS Espresso (2019)

Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee

KBS gets its coffee fix in the very first variant to come from our beloved bourbon barrel-aged stout. Yes, KBS may already be brewed with coffee, but it gets some extra oomph when it’s aged on espresso beans after being removed from barrels. The result is a fresh and snappy coffee twist on our classic barrel-aged beer. Who says you can’t start your day with a barrel-aged stout

Jag tycker nog att kaffesmaken har blivit lite tunnare efter lagring.

Interesting coffee bite where the aftertaste is reminiscent of Dr. Pepper.

Nice surprise on tap. Old skool Blink182 in the background only enhances it.

Klar ✅ lukt av espresso ☕️ med lite chokladton. Kraftig smak som följer lukten med både espresso ☕️ och choklad 🍫. En smak som dröjer sig kvar som en mjuk slöja 🧕 i gommen.

Shocked that I haven’t checked this in prior. Has aged remarkably over the year +, allowing the coffee/espresso flavors to come forward even more. Arguably the quintessential coffee BBA stout

Nice balance of beer flavor vs coffee flavor. Started off bitter-which I like. Smooth and not too heavy.

The burger takeout place had 2019 KBS espresso in "growlers" so I of course had to get it to go with the burgers.

2019 from the cellar. You smell the bourbon but taste the coffee, super smooth like a really good coffee.
