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?

The original KBS is fantastic but this one has such a strong coffee flavor and balances out very well

Great balance compared to last year, the espresso is prominent but not overpowering.

Strong espresso flavor, i wish the barrel was slightly more prominent. As it warms a chocolatey malty flavor comes through.

This was very good aged stout. The espresso is so up front it’s insane. I was hoping of a little more chocolate but it’s still there a little bit in the aftertaste. As soon as I smell the aroma I feel as if I’m drinking a cold brew.

Chocolate fudge with a healthy dose of espresso. Sadly the barrel really isn't there except for a slight hint of vanilla.

Love this one, close to the original but with more emphasis on the coffee. Chocolate comes through nicely too. 👍👍

Complety forgot to check this one in & I’ve tried it twice. Also at Bindaas with the gang. Cuppa joe with some good cocoa in the grind. Lovely. Will find some more dark roasted goodness again.

Like a nice boozy espresso needs a little time. But that's why you get a 4 pack.

Deep rich coffee with sweet barrel notes. I think this year's may be more robust than last year's.

Oh my my, they killed it. The coffee isn’t overwhelming, it’s rich, flavorful, and dangerous.
