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?

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.

Coffee overload, but I feel like it’s slightly tamed from last year from what I remember

I really wanted to find the fudge variety but this espresso one is damn fine. Chocolate, coffee, barrel, toasty, thick and abv hidden.

Fantastic! Notes of roasted malt and coffee. Super Smooth, tiny bit of heat coming from the 12%. 👍🏻 Go birds 🦅

Full disclosure this is my first ever KBS of any variant. It’s good but I was hoping for a fudge bomb. 4.35/5.0

Usually not a fan of barrel aged. Liked the espresso though.

super dark & rich. String coffee nose. Very smooth finish without the strong BBS aging.

#24 Fabuleux café fraîchement moulu au nez, caramel. Peu de corps, café à pleine bouche, café amer qui se marie à l'amertume du stout, BA inexistant, grosse longueur sur le café noir, on n'en sent pas les 12%. On a perdu le BBA, plus de corps et ça tue.

One of the better bourbon barrel stouts, especially at 12%. Espresso scent. Taste is creamy, not over-bearing with the alcohol.
