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?

Strong coffee flavor, will most likely cellar the remaining 3 to age and mellow out the intensity. Jury is still out on this one

Where to start... delicious beer, no doubt. The espresso hits you on the nose and first on the tongue, but gives way to a balanced, roasty, chocolate trail with a diminuendo of oak barrel flavor. This is a must try if you get the chance.
