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?

Begint vrij straf door de hoeveelheid koffie, maar rolt daarna lekker door naar een zachte Stout. Heeft wel echt het typische Founders aroma.

Cannot say my pallet is the most discerning, but I will finish the night with a KBS Espresso while hiccuping. Fuck we will see if I sleep with this careful arrangement of Espresso coffee forward with vanilla allows for sleep.

Thick coffee with a very odd dark cherry middle taste and a bitter finish

Dark semithick BA choco/coffee imp. Stout. Roasted malt and coffee strong scent. Strong bitter nose with roasted malt flavor. Body full, rich and powerful. Roasted malt is transformed into a dark espresso shot. In the long end it mellows into dark choco

A little bitter at first, but has a nice coffee after taste. Might have to compare it to regular KBS sometime to taste the differences.

Not as good as the Mackinac Fudge but right in par with og KBS. Big rich dark chocolate and espresso.

Can’t believe this is the first KBS I’m checking in. Excellent BA flavor and love the espresso beans. Pours with a nice thick head and the foam is delicious. Big roasty character and drinks pretty light, goes down smooth. Perfect after dinner treat.
