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?

Crispy

Rainy afternoon pour. Thick, black hue that smells like straight up coffee and booze. Espresso and bourbon hit strongly right away, but smooths out with coffee, vanilla and caramel finish. Definitely better on tap

Had this soon after having a KBS. Interesting contrast. Similar flavours, but distinctly stronger coffee flavour. Not over-done though, very well-balanced, and tempers the boozy undertones. Enjoyed this more than the KBS.

Strong roasted coffee and chocolate flavour. Smooth and easy drinking for a 12% ABV stout. Another awesome beer from Founders

Now that winter feels like it’s here, feels time to break out the heavy stuff. I didn’t think it was possible to improve on KBS, but the espresso does just that. Thanks to the SIL, Katie, for the bottle

Mmm... KBS... Barrel-aged... As expected. Tons of coffee balanced with a nice sweetness. Quite boozy... But that's OK... I'm in the mood for it. Thanks Adam! Awesome trade!
