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?

Coffee flavor is there with chocolate then the bourbon kicks in. Nicely done but again dangerous at 12% ABV. Love this brewery.

Fresh this was easily above 4, but while the coffee is still heavy on the nose, three months in it's fallen off the taste a lot. Solid, but falls under drink as fresh as possible category even if it is an imperial stout

This seemed better to me with a few months on it. More sweetness less bite

Faint coffee on the nose... otherwise thick malty aroma of the base beer. Heavy roast and medium viscosity.

Ya know... so the “big guys” have caught a lot of shit the last few years... I’m not sure if it because I’m searching for some peace with them... or this is just actually quite good. Either way, I recommend this beer. It has some real astringent espresso
