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

Still really tasty. When I originally had this fresh I reviewed it more like 4.5 of BA. Nice coffee chocolate lots of barrel and a nice thickness and creamy

Poured at 55°F and 20.5 months aged. Still absolutely delicious with bourbon on the nose and strong coffee/espresso flavors on the finish

Wie wat bewaard heeft wat! Lijkt erop dat die ‘Bold flavours’ wat afgezwakt zijn waardoor het nog mooier in balans is. Wat blijft zijn de kilo’s koffiebonen en de lekkere zweem bourbon, heel erg fijn!

Excellent. Drank 9/21. Dark rich espresso. Smooth balanced bourbon under belly. Age smooth the beer and enhanced the coffee. Very nice

Still boozy for being aged a couple years. Super smooth. High octane. Good coffee flavor too.

Another I failed to check in. The espresso is still very prominent along with some dark chocolate, char and oak. Not much barrel but there wasn't much when I had it fresh. It's still excellent but I'd probably tick it .25 higher when fresh.

Nose: coffee. Taste: straightforward coffee with a hint of cream. Finish: roasted coffee with cacao nibs (dark chocolate). Full palate of coffee and cream. No sweetness or bitterness.

Choklad, kaffe, lite vinös. Fyllig, rund och lite krämig konsistens. Aningen aningen spritig men ändå bra balans. Mycket gott
