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

Aged 4 years to perfection! Thick, Rich coffee, chocolate but not too sweet, strong booze but smooth, lots of bourbon and vanilla notes

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

It’s football time…in Tennessee! This is dangerously smooth. Coffee forward with chocolate syrup in the finish. No heat or boozy profile to it. Thiccc

Late check in. Cellar beers. Smoothed out with age, espresso isn’t as zippy but hasn’t turned. Bit of dusty cardboard on the back end but is mostly drowned out by a bittering cocoa powder, topped with some oak.

Revist after the 2019 release. I don't see why I rated this a 5. While it is flavorful, the body is very thin, and leaves something to be desired. The coffee is great and the sting from the bourbon sits on the tongue, but there are better stouts.

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!

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

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

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.
