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.

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.

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.

Brew Day! Great body. Coffee forward, with appropriate chocolate support. Has a bitterness that's from hops or just the alcohol peeking in.

Aroma is suffering. Some acidity coming forth. Another case made for drinking fresh. Not the beer’s fault.
