KBS Espresso (2020)

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?

Not bad, but this would probably benefit from sitting a few years.

This was a good beer in my opinion. The coffee/espresso overpowered everything, and did a good job at it. I got a very faint chocolate note as well....not enough to talk about though. Good one overall, but not one I will search out.

Ret skarpt fad, som gør eftersmagen noget bastant. Og lidt vel meget syre fra kaffen. Ikke helt i balance. Men til prisen (6 euro) er det ret hæderligt.

I'm wrestling this beer (good bones but too much coffee) while simultaneously wrestling with my wife's strange fascination with Dawson's Creek (badly filmed, badly mixed, plot holes aplenty). Should've picked one challenge at a time. Shame, really.

I must be over coffee stouts. I love coffee. I love stouts. Together? Meh.

Not bad, but it’s a bit of a let down after Maple Mackinac Fudge.

Strong coffee flavor, will most likely cellar the remaining 3 to age and mellow out the intensity. Jury is still out on this one

I honestly don’t think the espresso version is that special. But the mix with the Mackinac Fudge is amazing.

Blends the coffee in without the bitterness in so many coffee beers. Need to have one morning for brunch.
