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?

I heard Tom M. recommended this stout so Dan S. and I just had to pick it up. Super super yummy and a great way to keep this long weekend going!

Excellent. Dark as a black hole, and I’ve been sucked in. I think Heirloom aged this for me for a few months ;-)

Roasty coffee and dark chocolate notes dominate. Vanilla and oak notes round out the end. A little boozy but definitely much smoother fresh than the base recipe.

This is the opposite of full grown. Chocolate and then coffee. Super smooth. Phenomenal beer and that's what I expected

Coffee flavor is there with chocolate then the bourbon kicks in. Nicely done but again dangerous at 12% ABV. Love this brewery.
