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

Lagrad i ölkällaren ett tag. Bottled 11/18/19. Känns som den tappat i viskositet? Mycket starkt kaffe. Espresso! Rostat. Kraftiga smaker!

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.

Hell yeah. Been sitting on this one for a minute, but thanks to Wes for sharing many moons ago, and it’s delicious! CBS is still my favorite but this a complex and tasty gem

#OneMoreAgain #papafridge btld: 11.18.19 Ethanol, dark chocolate aroma. Dark fruit comes forward with a short rest. Bitter dark roast coffee upon 1st blush. Medium body espresso & dark chocolate. Woody & mild bourbon burn. Ages well even w/storage abuse.

This particular one got better with age. Of course I don't really recalled what it tasted like in 2019, but it moved from a 4.25 to a 4.5.

Wonderful Rich BA coffee stout. Not overly boozy and lots of espresso. Nice amount of barrel and some nice bitterness on the down side! Birthday gift from my bride.

could just as well have gone all in on this one. it’s really the perfect nightcap and I’m not even a bourbon fan. so wb.. just enough boozy sweetness to that espresso base. out on a limb perhaps but calling this my Founders-favorite.

Pretty tasty a year out. Really rich roasted flavor but the fresh coffee nuisances are missing a bit. Still excellent.
