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

Mycket god! Mycket choklad, inte så mycket espresso som väntat (kan ha försvunnit med några års lagring), len som få

Chocolate, espresso, and a touch of bourbon. So good.

4.6. Time has done well for this one. Coffee in great balance with the barrel. Nothing faded. Fantastic

Apparently let this sit too long. Espresso (mostly any coffee) notes and bourbon has faded into obscurity. Thankfully, no foul onion. This should've held up better. P/w Sloane-Fading Into Obscurity.

Stout showdown with Jacob R. and Alyssa #3 - batch 1 of the espresso is still holding on nicely, w/ distinct coffee notes above what I usually get for reg KBS at this age. That said, objectively there’s a lot less coffee than fresh so drink up if holding.

From the cellar; stamped, "BOTTLED ON: 11.14.19;" another helping of roasted, bitter, coffee is a nice variation on the original.

This is not a breakfast stout. Don’t be fooled: the burnt caramel of espresso could be a comfort in the hellscape of a chaotic morning, but enjoy this as the post-dinner digestif.

Pulled outta the closet... creamy, thick, still lots of chocolate with coffee bitter on the finish.
