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?

Heavy-duty dose of coffee flavor to notch up the legendary chocolate-coffee-bourbon imperial stout. Took me a while but superior brew for coffee fans.

#1,000 Didn’t have an exact plan, but my trip to Founders a couple years ago was a definitive impact in my interests for craft beer. Cheers

Not sure that I'm excited about the coffee mixing with the bourbon. It's an interesting combo. Still good though.

A to dobre jest, kawą pięknie pachnie i kawą ładnie smakuje. Beczki brak i KBSowy brak ciała jest, ale jakie gładkie. Hot fix do wersji 1.04 dużo pomógł.

Still much more bitter than regular KBS, but subtle notes of oak help balance this out. Very rich and delicious. Another great breakfast beer.

If you like KBS and you like coffee stouts, you HAVE to try this. A perfect marriage of coffee and barrel-aged flavor. Boozy, but no alcohol burn. Thick and creamy. Roasty.

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.

Gotta say, I do like the original KBS better, but this is damn good. It’s just a flip flop of KBS. This is more coffee; to me, KBS is more chocolate. It’s still a very tasty beer.
