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?

A twist on the original but not quite the same results. Lots of coffee on the aftertaste. Overall a good beer.

Espresso, bitter coffee, medium body, not too much bourbon, roasty, dark chocolate. I think I prefer regular KBS

A nice deep roasted flavor. I will age a couple to see how it ages. The espresso does and a bit of bitterness that’s not offensive. Does leave a bit of a lasting coffee flavor on the pallet but again, not offensive.
