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?

Vintage 2020: Pours dark as oil with a full head and cocoa nose. Smooth, strong chocolatey start leads to a full body heavy with rich coffee. Finish is a boozy velvety hammer of BBA with notes of coconut. Truly exceptional!

Un tout bon imperial stout café, qui plus est, barrel aged. Une tuerie.

This is one I think is better off not holding on to and drinking fresh. Still good, but some stuff has fallen off for the flavors.

Onwijs boozyy. Heftig biertje volle dikke tonen van chocolade en koffie. Overdosis!! Wuaaahhh wat een heftig biertje dit. Bitter van de koffie en donkere pure chocolade. Denk stiekem ook wel dat de whisky vaten hen ietswat boozy maken. Ietsie te!

Vind hem behoorlijk boozy en verder niet bijzonder veel smaak. Is ook een ouder flesje.

I hate to be harsh, but for the price this doesn’t add up to the KBS name, it’s seriously chocholetly a tad on the bitter side for a stout.

Roasty coffee nose. Very roasty with chocolate and a strong alcohol bite, little creamy. BOD 10/21/20

12% ABV BBA Imperial Stout. Boozy espresso, chocolate and bourbon. Always a tasty option and paired well today with Jamaican salt fish fritters.

Craftapped freebie! And it's a big one. This is the first time I've had this beer without my fav drinking buddy, my bro. Out of respect to him, I can't give it the usual 5.0. It's still an amazing party of booze and coffee, getting better as it warms.
