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?

Chocolate fudge with a healthy dose of espresso. Sadly the barrel really isn't there except for a slight hint of vanilla.

This was very good aged stout. The espresso is so up front it’s insane. I was hoping of a little more chocolate but it’s still there a little bit in the aftertaste. As soon as I smell the aroma I feel as if I’m drinking a cold brew.

Strong espresso flavor, i wish the barrel was slightly more prominent. As it warms a chocolatey malty flavor comes through.

Great balance compared to last year, the espresso is prominent but not overpowering.

The original KBS is fantastic but this one has such a strong coffee flavor and balances out very well

Yes it’s espresso but it’s not so overwhelming. There’s a bit if chocolate that balances well. A little like the normal KBS in reverse. To me the regular KBS is more chocolate than coffee so this reverses that. Excellent
