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?

Whew... alcohol and bourbon notes stand out. Guess that what happens after those pastry stouts.

Great beer. Just not getting as much of the espresso flavor I hoped for. Solid and smooth for a 12%

I prefer the classic even though I do love coffee. I actually like the fudge better too. I still do think this is a good beer but slightly one dimensional.... Am I asking too much?

Good chocolate flavor. Tons of strong coffee flavor from the espresso. Good boozy smoothness from the bourbon barrel aging.
