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

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.

That’s a heckuvapour! Definitely big coffee flavor but I’ll say it kinda negates the KBSiness of the beer as the base already has coffee in it.

Dearlord do I love a well-brewed stout that perfectly pairs barrels and coffee, especially this kicked up smooth espresso. Geebus, that’s outstanding.

Nice and toasty, it’s still got a little burn. Aged nicely but slightly muddled. Moving continues with Matt and Gink

It’s like KBS, a punch in the mouth boozy stout with a “let’s be friends” espresso finish. Day 3 of serious packing

I am on the fence on this. I first tried a variant in March 2020 at Monk's Pub shortly before the lockdown, and my sense of it was that the extra coffee added bitterness. KBS and CBS are two of my favorite beers, but this is thinner and more bitter.
