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 sure if I’d say it’s a better rendition than the classic. Perhaps slightly stronger in coffee flavor but really just as watery and beany. KBS is really losing it these days.

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.

3900! Hideg kávés, kapucíneres illat. Ízében markáns erő melyet az aromák nem tudnak elfedni. Sok kávé és pörkölés mellé jár értelemszerűen nem kevés keser. Ám ahogy melegszik, úgy selymesedik. Csak a kávé csersava miatt csak ennyi...

Black color. Wood and espresso aroma. Not sure if I taste coffee or chocolate. alcohol is the dominant flavor. Other than that there’s definitely ba smoothness. Slight roasty, acidity, bitterness in the aftertaste that I’m guessing age would fix.

Tons of espresso obviously. Bourbon nose and flavor. Bourbon coffee ice cream. Creamy. Smooth. Easy sipper for the abv. Could replace my morning coffee. 🤷‍♂️

Rich coffee smell and flavor, leading me to yearn for pure coffee beer, to the point where the bourbon notes (Lord, forgive me) actually detracts from the overall experience.

Couldn't find it this year, but my non-beer-nerd brother picked up a 4-pack to split! I've taught him well.
