On the right. Very coffee forward as you would expect. Yum!

Another gifted Founders, another very good stout. There are better coffee stouts, and there are many worse. I feel like KBS Espresso pretends to lean on roasty coffee but it's so much sweeter than that

Yup. Tastes like espresso. And booze. Would be a great breakfast beer!

Blackened coffee beans dipped in roasty dark chocolate. Warming bourbon and vanilla tones on an old oak backdrop. Smooth and creamy with a definite booze presence throughout. Well done, but some cellar age on this would be beneficial.

Less impact than I remember it having last year. I'd been on a bit of a KBS fix, and at that point, the espresso was a bit of a mind benda - however, this time - the coffee seems a bit aggressive, and steals the show, to it's detriment.

Yes it’s espresso but it’s not so overwhelming. There’s a bit if chocolate that balances well. A little like the normal KBS in reverse. To me the regular KBS is more chocolate than coffee so this reverses that. Excellent
