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

Last call!! Malty/peppery start, the espresso both pushes the roast level and pulls it back from becoming overly ashy/burnt, i dig it. Coffee segues into the barrel element, dark chocolate on the aftertaste. Pretty amazing brew at 3+ years, thanks Jason!

Bottled on 11.18.19 and aged very well. The espresso was no joke but it went down really well.

Aged pretty wonderfully! Hits the spot after an OT night shift! Pretty mellowed out but doesn't feel like it lost too much of its flavor.

This has been in my fridge three plus years giving me serious stink eye every time I reached in for another, newer beer. Espresso/coffee flavors remain rich & the barrel presence prevalent in every sip. Bottled 11/18/19.

En fin rund smak av espresso, bitter mörk choklad, bourbon, ek, russin, vanilj och lite karamell.

Legat på hyllan sedan 2019, kanske fallit från lite väl mycket. Kaffe (lite syrligt), rund sötma, lite nötighet men fortfarande ganska alkoholvärmande.

Reminds me of 40mm stout with the sharp cold coffee bite. Better creamier mouthfeel though.

Not sure how to read the barrel label, but if this is best before, and Founders mention a shelf life of 365 days... I can only assume this is a 2019 vintage, maybe even a 2017... I'll go with the former! Chairs! Also... It's lovely!
