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?

Wat is Founders aan het doen.. zelfde dunne KBS als de regular met extra koffie. Ruikt erg goed, maar is dun en eentonig qua smaak. Scherpe koffie-nabitterheid, gewoon vervelend. Klaar met KBS.

Hate to say it but this one is a huge disappointment. The nose is so acidic the coffee is an afterthought. The alcohol content is really aggressive also. I let it sit for awhile to try it at different temps but ultimately poured the last bit of it out.

Eh. Not really impressed with this one. The nose is much better than the actual taste.

Didn't enjoy this, not a KBS fan in general I think.

This just didn’t have anything going for it. I’ve had too many other good BA beers this year. This doesn’t come close.

Allerede farven er gode tegn. Smæk på kaffe smagen, som holder længe. En smule smag af chokolade

Initial stout taste is very good which is expected, as a non coffee drinker ending is a mess of a bitter coffee grind taste

I think I like the 'regular' KBS better. Why mess a great thing. A little heavy on the espresso

Before this beer, I really thought there were no strong beers, only weak men, but even I think this beer is a little too much.

Not getting much besides sweet molasses. Maybe I'll like it better after it ages some more.

Just a little too coffee/espresso forward for me. It’s nearly all I tasted. I would prefer some additional maltiness or complementary flavor. Espresso lovers will love this! Lol

Espresso tastes moderately burnt this year. Barrel is alright but could be more pronounced and nuanced.
