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

I worked since 6 am, also fit in snowblowing and shoveling twice. I'm chilled to the bone. Cracking one from the cellar. Coffee and chocolate coming through on this one.

This has been sitting in my fridge for ages and it was either Josh C. or Steve H. who gave it to me, can’t remember. More barrel than espresso, and I forgot to take a picture of it but still damn awesome.

Still lots of espresso, slightly astringent finish but still fantastic.

Lite ektoner i doften men mestadels kaffe och mörk choklad. Kaffet dominerar smaken såklart men finns även hintar av choklad. Avslutningen har främst en torr bourbon touch över sig. Bra kropp annars och trevlig krämighet.
