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?

This is a great beer. Slight creaminess; rich flavor. Coffee/espresso flavor is isn't but not overpowering

Lovely KBS flavor(s) with just enough espresso to make it unique.

Good chocolate flavor. Tons of strong coffee flavor from the espresso. Good boozy smoothness from the bourbon barrel aging.

Like a fruity pour-over with a splash of bourbon. Much stronger coffee than KBS. Rich creamy body, bitter & quite dry.

There’s a lot of ☕️ here. It’s rife in the aroma and flavor. I let this sit for a while and tried taking my time with it. While this isn’t my favorite KBS variant, it’s still pretty darn good. It’s quite possible that I underrated this one last time.
