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?

Like eating dark chocolate covered espresso beans with a bourbon barrel stout. The barrel is still there but I think the big alcohol character has mellowed with age.

From the advent box. I like that they put cellared beers in, but the espresso was stronger when it was new. Still a great beer.

Smooth bourbon and more coffee flavor than I expected for being as old as it was
