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?

Like a fruity pour-over with a splash of bourbon. Much stronger coffee than KBS. Rich creamy body, bitter & quite dry.

Really similar to 4Hands Single Origin, but smoother, more flavorful, and better for the percentage. Outstanding. Highly recommend.

Good chocolate flavor. Tons of strong coffee flavor from the espresso. Good boozy smoothness from the bourbon barrel aging.

Lovely KBS flavor(s) with just enough espresso to make it unique.

I prefer the classic even though I do love coffee. I actually like the fudge better too. I still do think this is a good beer but slightly one dimensional.... Am I asking too much?
