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?

Espresso, Espresso, Espresso... na klar, ist das eindimensional, aber richtig gut, genau die Infusion die das KBS braucht, um noch mehr zu begeistern - deutlicher Sieger gegen die Basisversion: 4.4 🍻

Stout. Not sweet. Coffee and hazelnut. A bit dry.

I can't really taste the chocolate. It got a quite clear coffee smell and taste with a hint of hazelnuts. It's super smooth and mild

Want this to be better. KBS runs thin but this seems even thinner and flavors don’t come together well.

Strong bitter espresso. Boozy with underlying chocolate notes. Smooth and creamy on nitro.

Really quite nice. Chewy chocolate that turns fudge sludge. For a shelfie its quite indulgent given the scale.

Poh, niks voor mij. Vooral koffie. Bitter. Aan de dunne kant. Bourbon erg ver weg. Mis ook iets zoets.

Smells like a coffee shop. There is a lot going on with this beer. Definitely tastes like bitter dark chocolate. Has a strong flavor of charred wood. I really enjoyed it.

Hmm... could not taste why this beer is so high rate (4.25)... maybe lack of experience of tasting good stout beers. Anyway this was not for me.
