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?

The espresso has become more roasty and not so much on the bitter side.

Nice smooth coffee flavor comes on strong. Get some oak and a slight bit of whiskey at the finish

Strong chocolate notes at the front end, strong coffee notes on the end. A sweet beer, but good.

Needed a little Expresso tonight. Flavors have faded a bit but the base Stout is still there. Cleaning the Cellar out so I don't have to move as many bottles! #lifegoals
