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?

I'm wrestling this beer (good bones but too much coffee) while simultaneously wrestling with my wife's strange fascination with Dawson's Creek (badly filmed, badly mixed, plot holes aplenty). Should've picked one challenge at a time. Shame, really.

The coffee notes are very strong with this one. Definitely not the balance that the Mackinac has, but a solid variant nonetheless

Very smooth at 12%. Not even close to too much coffee. Well balanced.

Heavy and barrel aged. Earns a VG on NBT. Enough coffee in here to probably keep me awake tonight.

Sometimes you just need an afternoon coffee. This seemed to be the best choice.

This takes the coffee notes of the base KBS up about fivefold.

They took KBS, turned down the bourbon a notch and added more coffee in it’s place. I like both versions, but this one wins for me.
