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?

Selvästi tuhdimpi bourbonin maku kun mitä viime kerralla. Lieneekö viimeks ollu makuaisti jotenkin vähän heikossa hapessa. Voimakas kahvin aromi ja maku, suklaata, paahteisuutta ja bourbonia. Viimeksi 4.00 mutta nyt kyl maistuu selvästi paremmalta. 4.30

Two of my favorite things, espresso and stout. On top of that, enjoying it on a snowy day. What could be better?

Strong coffee aroma, big luscious body with roasted notes and deep long coffee bitterness on the finish. Very light sweetness, overall good brew but not as complex as previous KBS versions. Don't taste any bourbon.

Espresso is a little bitter and seems thin. Flavor goes away quick

Super solid KBS variant. This has way more coffee all over in place of the bourbon barrel-aging notes. Some decent chocolate character as well. Nice complex aftertaste (bitter, coffee, chocolate, hazelnut, cream, roast, sweet syrup). No booziness at all.

One of my favorite KBS variants. Either the draft version is that much better or this year’s espresso is a tad light. Either case, very good brew regardless.

It's no macinac fudge but great KBS flavor. Lots of extra coffee with chocolate still prominent. Solid

This has sat for awhile. Lost a bit of the coffee punch. But I like that. Great smell and mouth feel. The warmer it gets, the more flavor comes out. Great drink.
