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?

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.

I like this espresso variant better than the original KBS now. I love how strong the coffee flavor is, I just wish the bourbon was bumped up a little more.

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

Before this beer, I really thought there were no strong beers, only weak men, but even I think this beer is a little too much.
