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?

It is what it is. I liked it better fresh. Aged 14 months…much more espresso bean-y now and thinner. Maybe I should have waited longer?

Mellowed out in the cellar… not as robust and roasty

Always a good one, in this version it is even more coffeish. On nose it has a strong aroma of roasted espresso beans with some cocoa notes. Creamy and oily texture with a rich and complex flavor, full body, strong coffee taste but never overlying.

Espresso is upfront and tasty, but it drowns out the softer notes that set this base stout apart.

Well balanced with coffee and bourbon. Chocolatey. Thick. Warming.

No booze. Espresso at the forefront. Smooth and silky down the gullet. Nice winter warmer

Lovely coffee overtones with a solid stout foundation. Hints of bourbon sweetness balance out the espresso.

Bottled 10.16.2020. Ooo this is really good. So many chocolate & coffee notes. The espresso complements KBS so well. A solid sipper, especially for a coffee lover like myself.
