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

Klar ✅ lukt av espresso ☕️ med lite chokladton. Kraftig smak som följer lukten med både espresso ☕️ och choklad 🍫. En smak som dröjer sig kvar som en mjuk slöja 🧕 i gommen.

Espresso and barrel love right here. A bit thin for what it could be, but that is a minor quibble.

Nice and smooth up front, bourbon essence has mellowed out nicely. Left some bitter coffee/cocoa on the back of my tongue, found it a nice finish.

Did not know KBS could be more coffee forward as original. Yet, here we are. 1st yr it’s aged on espresso beans after being removed from the barrels. More hyperness than normal! Thanks Bryan F. for the hookup on this one I missed. Huge KBS fan & variants.

Just tapped a 1/4 barrel of KBS Espresso and it’s awesome! Coffee in your face for sure. Smooth, with great carmel bourbon notes.

10 months of age. Delicious. The bourbons flavors remain but the harsh alcohol is gone leaving nice chocolate coffee bitterness and some nice toffee/espresso at the end as it warmed.
