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?

Kneiter op de zaterdag middag. Begint met stevige koffie en dan komt de bourbon stout erdoorheen, heerlijk 😃 terwijl de bbq staat te roken

You first get hit with that barrel alcohol, which quickly gives way to pure dark cocoa covered espresso bean goodness ☕. Cleaning up the kitchen after a late night of canning apple butter 🍎 and hot sauce 🔥 ready to get this #StoutSunday started.

Couldn't find it this year, but my non-beer-nerd brother picked up a 4-pack to split! I've taught him well.

Rich coffee smell and flavor, leading me to yearn for pure coffee beer, to the point where the bourbon notes (Lord, forgive me) actually detracts from the overall experience.

Tons of espresso obviously. Bourbon nose and flavor. Bourbon coffee ice cream. Creamy. Smooth. Easy sipper for the abv. Could replace my morning coffee. 🤷‍♂️

Black color. Wood and espresso aroma. Not sure if I taste coffee or chocolate. alcohol is the dominant flavor. Other than that there’s definitely ba smoothness. Slight roasty, acidity, bitterness in the aftertaste that I’m guessing age would fix.

The coffee is very in your face up front and pleasantly fades to a smooth finish with a chocolate aftertaste.

Pours a 1/4-inch beige head that quickly dissipates. Great coffee flavor. Creamy mouthfeel, but it's a little fumy.

It said I can start my day with this. I’d rather end it with this, and fall into beautiful slumber. Might as well be drinking this from inside a roaster. Wake me up when the first shifter clocks in.
