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?

Smooth, and love the coffee hints. It's not overpowering either.

Sharp sweet coffee bite with some booziness. Not bad but expected smoother. Will let set for a bit in glass, and others to rest with their regular KBS brethren.

Nose a bit weak, but espresso comes across fairly well on the palate. Some baker's chocolate as well.

Solid with very prominent coffee, but would like more of the chocolate and barrel aged flavors for balance.

It's no macinac fudge but great KBS flavor. Lots of extra coffee with chocolate still prominent. Solid

Actually kind of disappointing. It just seems to be dark, kind of biitter and strong. There strangely doesn't seem to much coffee flavor, or chocolate, or flavor from the bourbon barrel.

Mostly dark and bitter. Not noticing much in the way of flavor notes. Boozy, I guess. Disappointing. Seems like there's no residual sweetness, maybe that would help.

It feels like a start and looks like a stout so you have a stout!! Roasty espresso on a cold damp day hits the spot!

Solid chocolate espresso. Not bitter, even a non-coffee lover will enjoy this.
