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?

Kaffe, vanilje, røstet malt og mørk sjokolade. Preg av bourbon fra fatlagringen. Fyldig og velbalansert. Flott øl.

Great variant. The espresso only adds to the rich coffee flavor. One of my favorite beers from 2019 and this years only solidify’s that. Glad they brought this back for 2020! ☕️ 🍫

Freshly grounded coffee is present on the nose. Very soft and rich with the espresso note not overpowering. Barrel age is felt slightly. Finishes with a sweet balance of espresso and chocolate. This beer is a pinnacle example of a coffee stout done right.

Breakfast beer/coffee lakeside this beauty of a cool morning. I like this year’s version better. More coffee more roast. Still plenty of base, but the espresso pops for me this go round. Excellent!

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.

Deep rich coffee with sweet barrel notes. I think this year's may be more robust than last year's.
