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?

Decently aged, not as beautiful as others in the KBS portfolio.

Had this one for a few years now Coffee, chocolate booziness hasn't gone away. Maybe a bit more bitter than sweet. Still delicious

One from the back of the batcave, brought out for special occasions. A deeply rich, roasted stout, strong coffee aromas and flavour with a sweet maple syrup finish.

After 3 years, definitely settled down a bit. Dark Chocolate is most predominate with some charred espresso of course. Getting some cinnamon clove and even a bit of very crispy bacon too. Probably coming from the burnt part. Not too sweet and very tasty!

Ok, so this was part of the awesome group of beers my brother got from his friend Scott. I just so happened to have the same vintage of this beer previously and I have to say it aged quite nicely. Notes of chocolate and espresso and very well balanced

Black; tan head. Smells like coffee, dark chocolate, woody oak barrel, bit of funk. Full body, robust, boozy, with woody, coffee, dark chocolate, and berry flavors. Feels like drinking something special, but it's a little overdone for me.

Länge sen man drack denna, fortsatt riktigt riktigt fin alltså, kaffet har inte dämpats alls utan det är riktigt mycket, riktigt fin kaffesmak. När den smakridån lagt sig ångar KBS:en på tryggt bakom, klart bättre än senaste årens vanliga-versioner!
