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?

Know what sucks? Having to do your Untappy on an ancient desktop like some 1990s basement cretin F5'ing AIM in a desperate bid for validation because your damn phone bricks and you won't have a new one for a week. Liked this way better than the maple one.

Honestly I don't think I could tell the difference between this and regular KBS if I tried. A bit more bitter maybe?

Honestly, if you go in imagining you're about to drink a cold brew it tastes a lot better.

Big coffee punch. Barrel is slightly present. Hint of sweetness to balance espresso.

The KBS we know and love with more coffee what's not to love.

Impressive! Better as it warms, interested to see what age would do to this.

Oh my my, they killed it. The coffee isn’t overwhelming, it’s rich, flavorful, and dangerous.

Deep rich coffee with sweet barrel notes. I think this year's may be more robust than last year's.

Like a nice boozy espresso needs a little time. But that's why you get a 4 pack.

Complety forgot to check this one in & I’ve tried it twice. Also at Bindaas with the gang. Cuppa joe with some good cocoa in the grind. Lovely. Will find some more dark roasted goodness again.

Love this one, close to the original but with more emphasis on the coffee. Chocolate comes through nicely too. 👍👍
