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?

Thought this was still pretty good. Lower side of medium for mouthfeel, coming through with tastes of chocolate and coffee up front and throughout the middle, with bourbon coming through on the backend. If you enjoy coffee, you should enjoy this one.

The smell is espresso, the taste is a delicious balance of a kbs espresso

Breakfast beer/coffee lakeside this beauty of a cool morning. I like this year’s version better. More coffee more roast. Still plenty of base, but the espresso pops for me this go round. Excellent!

Not bad, but this would probably benefit from sitting a few years.

Bold enough to hold up to the content with a looooong finish. Best dessert you could wish for. Coffee forward but a bittersweet cacao feel and flavor lingers.
