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

Slight chocolate notes before being taken over by roasted espresso. Boozy and actually watery. Was hoping for something a bit closer to the original.

A year of aging hasn’t changed the flavor profile much, just made it even smoother. The coffee may be slightly more forward. Gentle bourbon notes to add vanilla and caramel on top of boatloads of chocolate syrup. Sharp, fresh espresso to add a bitter vein

Strong green pepper notes. Aging doing this one no favors.

Dark roasted coffee is definitely prominent. Chocolate, toffee, caramel, oak, bourbon, vanilla. Thick, sweet, boozy. Great winter drinking.

2019 from the cellar. You smell the bourbon but taste the coffee, super smooth like a really good coffee.

It definitely delivers the coffee. Nice pour with chocolatey head 😉 ...sorry didn’t get a pic of the head 😂

The burger takeout place had 2019 KBS espresso in "growlers" so I of course had to get it to go with the burgers.

Nice balance of beer flavor vs coffee flavor. Started off bitter-which I like. Smooth and not too heavy.

Shocked that I haven’t checked this in prior. Has aged remarkably over the year +, allowing the coffee/espresso flavors to come forward even more. Arguably the quintessential coffee BBA stout
