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?

This takes the coffee notes of the base KBS up about fivefold.

Heavy and barrel aged. Earns a VG on NBT. Enough coffee in here to probably keep me awake tonight.

Surprising amount of chocolate mixed in with a nice amount of espresso. Not too much coffee flavor but enough to know it’s there. Pleasantly surprised with this one.

Almost like a hazelnut coffee. Tons of coffee flavors. Chocolate sweetness can get over powering in aftertaste

Straight espresso with a touch of cocoa. Way too smooth.

Bites of the coffee but more barrel .... firing this up on a rainy day and an empty stomach so this could go south quickly
