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?

Thought it would have more body. Light for 12% not getting the coffee.

Pitch black pour, one finger tan head, little retention, some lacing. Aromas of espresso and chocolate, hint of oak. Flavors of chocolate, espresso, hints of molasses and vanilla, some bourbon and earthy oak on the finish.

As you would guess, very coffee forward and kind of dry actually. Not too sweet, a little chocolatey and boozy

Remember chasing the base version back in the day:) Good to see it so much more readily available and love that they’ve been adding some variants.

Solid brew! Like the amount of espresso this baby retained. Matched with the bba, makes a good bold stout for this cold weather. Thanks jon b.

Always a good one, in this version it is even more coffeish. On nose it has a strong aroma of roasted espresso beans with some cocoa notes. Creamy and oily texture with a rich and complex flavor, full body, strong coffee taste but never overlying.
