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?

Wonderful coffee beer! This is just like my favorite Imperial Grind, but less boozy!

Not much to say about this that isn’t obvious. It is what it is, and what it is is delicious. Thank my 2 year old son for the parade occupying my normal photo spot.

2020 version is just as rich and delicious as the 2019 batch.

Aroma of bourbon and coffee. Pours black with a tan brown head that thinned after a couple sips. Lots of different things going on in the mouth: coffee, chocolate, hops and bourbon round out a malty backbone. Chocolate lingers. Not as thick as some others

Certainly smells like coffee! I guess you could put this Highly Acclaimed 12% BBA Chocolate Coffee Stout in your morning travel mug and no one would be the wiser. What’s it like? Think KBS with Espresso. Perhaps that’s where they got the name from?

Thin as usual but still a great beer. Add an ounce of Vanilla Crown Royal to add a little sweetness.

It's regular KBS but on steroids! First time trying these other variants and they don't disappoint. A whole lot easier to obtain these, than the variants from that certain Chicago brewery that's owned by In-Bev. Grand Rapids FTW!

Just great - huge bitter intense coffee, especially as it warms. This level is what I want regular KBS to be. Bold and brash and punchy.
