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

Bottled 11.13.19. Over aging diminished some espresso bouquet & mouthfeel that was previously there.Still a fine BBA stout.

I think I prefer the Bottles. A little bland on Tap sadly.

I thought it was watered down. For the price I payed for this, I expected more.

Still nice - really smooth, but some of the flavors especially the coffee have mellowed out a bit too much from when I fist had this one.

So smooth. Espresso burnt malt, bourbon, chocolate, vanilla flavors.very rich. Thick heavy mouth feel. Bitter chocolate espresso aftertaste.

Bf 17 nov -20. För ett år sedan tyckte jag att lagringen inte tillfört något, snarare tappat något i smak. Ett år senare tycker jag annorlunda. Rejält med espressokaffe och mörk choklad samt en kaffebeska som ligger kvar fint i eftersmaken. Mycket gott!

Seemed a bit too acidic in the nose, but the coffee and chocolate is well balanced in the taste. Not too much bourbon to be honest, but there's a light touch that leaves no want for more. Good beer.

Better than the regular, current KBS. Espresso notes are there, which helps to bring out the barrel and imperial notes. Not bad. S'okay.

Lagom med kaffetoner, ganska bra balans. Lugnat ner sig lite generellt.

Just a hint of coffee, not overpowering (no deduction). Really smooth, dark chocolate. I dig it!

Ooof this one is quite coffee taste. Not as big of a fan of the other Founders stouts.
