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

This has been in my fridge three plus years giving me serious stink eye every time I reached in for another, newer beer. Espresso/coffee flavors remain rich & the barrel presence prevalent in every sip. Bottled 11/18/19.

Hell yeah. Been sitting on this one for a minute, but thanks to Wes for sharing many moons ago, and it’s delicious! CBS is still my favorite but this a complex and tasty gem

This particular one got better with age. Of course I don't really recalled what it tasted like in 2019, but it moved from a 4.25 to a 4.5.

Doft av kaffe, mörk choklad och ekfat. Fyllig munkänsla. Smak av kaffe, mörk choklad och ekfat. Något bitter och torr eftersmak med inslag av kaffe och ekfat.

I am on the fence on this. I first tried a variant in March 2020 at Monk's Pub shortly before the lockdown, and my sense of it was that the extra coffee added bitterness. KBS and CBS are two of my favorite beers, but this is thinner and more bitter.
