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

Still boozy for being aged a couple years. Super smooth. High octane. Good coffee flavor too.

Mondays suck - This beer does not. Plenty of coffee espresso, almost gritty with it (not a bad thing!).

Just a hint of coffee, not overpowering (no deduction). Really smooth, dark chocolate. I dig it!

Seemed a bit too acidic in the nose, but the coffee and chocolate is well balanced in the taste. Not too much bourbon to be honest, but there's a light touch that leaves no want for more. Good beer.

Still nice - really smooth, but some of the flavors especially the coffee have mellowed out a bit too much from when I fist had this one.

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.

Getting a bit of the bourbon, but not getting the coffee. Get a bit of the coffee as it warms up.
