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?

Not bad, but this would probably benefit from sitting a few years.

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!

Thought this was still pretty good. Lower side of medium for mouthfeel, coming through with tastes of chocolate and coffee up front and throughout the middle, with bourbon coming through on the backend. If you enjoy coffee, you should enjoy this one.

Sweet sugary aroma followed by coffee and roasted nutty aroma. Slight creaminess. Followed by an espresso flavour balanced with some rich chocolate. Balanced sweetness. Careful amount of bitterness. Ends with some booziness.

prefers the OG. This more bitter, low on barrel aged aroma. Still a damn good beer

Strong coffee notes on the nose, followed by a creamy mouthfeel with prominent notes of bitter coffee up front with more subtle chocolate ones underneath. Boozy from the barrel aging.

The coffee is very in your face up front and pleasantly fades to a smooth finish with a chocolate aftertaste.

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