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

Dark roasted coffee is definitely prominent. Chocolate, toffee, caramel, oak, bourbon, vanilla. Thick, sweet, boozy. Great winter drinking.

A year of aging hasn’t changed the flavor profile much, just made it even smoother. The coffee may be slightly more forward. Gentle bourbon notes to add vanilla and caramel on top of boatloads of chocolate syrup. Sharp, fresh espresso to add a bitter vein

Slight chocolate notes before being taken over by roasted espresso. Boozy and actually watery. Was hoping for something a bit closer to the original.
