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?

Bottled date 23.04.2020. It's like basic KBS but with some milk and hazelnut notes. I would say that most noticeable is chocolate, coffee is somewhere in the back. But that doesn't change a fact that it's good beer.

I’ll stick with my original rating for this one. It’s still pretty good. It’s just not as good as most KBS beers that I’ve had.

Is there really any better way to have your coffee in the evening?!? A little espresso is always a good thing and even better when it comes in a KBS bottle!

Coffee is bitter and a bit to dominant. Needs more stout and bourbon character.

I'm most definitely getting espresso vibes! A dark and very roasty brew with a lovely sweetness to it. The finish is bitter and roasty.

Bottled 11.14.19 , still drinking pretty smooth. Barrel character is apparent and quickly dominated the palate. Medium body, espresso is there but has died out a bit, bakers chocolate bitterness that finished dry to a point. Worse with age?

Cudny aromat mocnego espresso, w tle nuty beczki. W smaku espresso, gorzka czekolada, leciutka goryczka. Ułożone. Przyjemnie rozgrzewa w przełyku. Sporo alkoholu, ale wyczuwalny jedynie w aromacie beczki. Raj dla miłośników dobrej kawy, świetne piwo.😷

Craftapped freebie! And it's a big one. This is the first time I've had this beer without my fav drinking buddy, my bro. Out of respect to him, I can't give it the usual 5.0. It's still an amazing party of booze and coffee, getting better as it warms.

12% ABV BBA Imperial Stout. Boozy espresso, chocolate and bourbon. Always a tasty option and paired well today with Jamaican salt fish fritters.

Roasty coffee nose. Very roasty with chocolate and a strong alcohol bite, little creamy. BOD 10/21/20
