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 lots of espresso, slightly astringent finish but still fantastic.

Dark roasted coffee is definitely prominent. Chocolate, toffee, caramel, oak, bourbon, vanilla. Thick, sweet, boozy. Great winter drinking.

Shocked that I haven’t checked this in prior. Has aged remarkably over the year +, allowing the coffee/espresso flavors to come forward even more. Arguably the quintessential coffee BBA stout

One of my favorite stouts ever. Only slightly boozy, which at 12% is an effing miracle.

Poured at 55°F and 20.5 months aged. Still absolutely delicious with bourbon on the nose and strong coffee/espresso flavors on the finish

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!

This has aged gracefully. Chocolate dominates, w/a touch of BB @ the end. Miss the #oldskool Founders. RIP🍻🍻
