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?

Paired with 100% cacao, which made us appreciate the richness of this one! Hard to tell through the booziness whether coffee or chocolate is the stronger flavor. This is a solid one, but I like other Founders stouts even more!

Increíble equilibrio entre chocolate, café y el barril de bourbon, muy potente en sabor y sutilmente cuidando todos los detalles.

13%, stout met chocolade en koffie op Bourbon vaten. Geur van geroosterde koffiebonen, donkere chocolade en bourbon vanille. Kolere, lekker zeg. Wat een mooie dikke bolle smaak. Alles wat je ruikt komt in de smaak terug. Heel fijn.

Having next to reg KBS & Maple Mackinac Fudge. It's KBS w/ extra coffee & is similar to Java Cask & Big Bad Baptist. It has a very strong roasty coffee smell & flavor at first. Then the bourbon & chocolate shows up at the end.
