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?

Well balanced with coffee and bourbon. Chocolatey. Thick. Warming.

Chili and stout tonight. Different year and a solid revisit. The coffee and bourbon were evenly balanced. Neither too loud or outdoing the other. Subtle oak. The booze was pretty smooth. Got the 2021 I'm looking forward to comparing.

Had this a long while. My 2020 stash hidden in the far reaches of the beer fridge. We’ll worth the wait. Perfect dessert.

Served at my basement temp, 51 F. It has aged very well. The espresso flavor has mellowed but still prominent. Does not taste like a 12%. Very smooth without much of the heat you'd expect.

Sweet jesus. The most coffee I've ever gotten from a beer. Absolutely reeks of espresso, thick and gloopy, super strong fruity coffee on the palate with booze and wood from the BA. An absolute banger.
