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 drinking a bag of coffee grounds. Incredibly intense flavor but very good.

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

#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.

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

Lots of coffee from the espresso then barrel and chocolate. Another good KBS!

Coffee and dark roastiness. I’d have to drink one of the previous year’s KBS side-by-side with this to really see the difference, but there’s less bourbon booziness and more coffee.

Bought in March at the beginning of the pandemic & it’s aged since in a very nice way. Back then, espresso added a component that detracted from the original. But now it’s backed off & brought a roasty bitterness that is just delicious. Rich & amazing.

Don't rate many brews with a 5 - per my taste buds, this is a solid 5! Rich coffee flavoring, mild boozyness for 12%.
