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?

Early 2020 release. Not quite as good as fresh!

I dig it, but that's because I love dark rich espresso. This is coffee-centered with cocoa second. Like a bitter mocha. Bourbon is overshadowed.

Roasted coffee, vanilla, but a little thin - closer to a porter than a stout

I like this year’s better than last year’s, much smoother and the coffee bitterness is not as present.

Kawa, kawa, kawa. Mocno ziemista, orzechowa troszkę, przepalona. Dalej mnóstwo wódy. Zero beczki sensu stricte, ale alkoholowość przepotężna. Mało ciała, półwytrawne, trochę czekolady, ale przez alkohol ciężko i mało przyjemnie się pije.

This year’s version is way too easy to drink for 12% ABV. This is really good. Warm and boozy with a nice espresso flavor.
