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

Enjoying this much more now that it has mellowed out a bit. Still strong coffee, but doesn't completely overpower everything else

Is this considered vintage? Booze has mellowed a bit but toasty coffee still on the aftertaste.

Unfortunately time hasn’t done this well. There’s a good roasty sweetness on the nose, but the palate has started to see green pepper peek through. Not gone yet, but the booze and espresso bitterness together prove to be a bit heavy. Does well to warm.

Hadn’t had one of these since I bought last year. Brought one up from the basement today without having any idea of the bottling date. Happy anniversary to this guy.

KBS with the perfect amount of coffee. I actually like this more than the original KBS!

19-11-18 Vtg, 1yr/o! Rich, spicy coffee and notes of cocoa. Warm, with notes of fiery wood character and sharp molasses. Hints of vanilla and cream. Aging well, as KBS does.

Bottled 11/14/19 and hidden away in the back of the fridge. Not sure if a year of aging has improved it. Coffee notes are still prominent and a bit harsh. Booziness remains as well. Still very good but not the best of the KBS array.
