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 coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malt nose. Roasted malt dark roast coffee taste some bitter chocolate. Finish has some bourbon but mostly roasty with some sweetness

Kaffen er så dominerende, at den overdøver bourbonen. Det kunne man argumentere for var en skam, men hold kæft hvor er den god!

So much bitter coffee you barely get the bourbon. Definitely a coffee beer that happens to have spent time in bourbon barrels, but I really dig it.

Huge coffee aroma and flavor. The coffee bean bitterness hides the bourbon, in a good way. Dry. Finishes with notes of bittersweet chocolate.

Definitely espresso. Reminds me of baking espresso powder smell even. Bit of fire in there still. Not too much overpowering bourbon taste. Really btwn a 4.25 and 4.5
