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?

That is one intense coffee forward stout. Almost offensive. But I dig it! Better body on this than OG KBS.

Nice blend of dark roast coffee with Bourbon flavor. Thin mouthfeel, not much chocolate.

Just bottled on 10/15. Pretty boozy. It’s good, but I’ll let it sit awhile.

‘20 release born on 11/14/19? Continues to smooth out. Plenty of espresso while being less abrasive. Nice hint of sweetness.

Great variant. The espresso only adds to the rich coffee flavor. One of my favorite beers from 2019 and this years only solidify’s that. Glad they brought this back for 2020! ☕️ 🍫

Kaffe, vanilje, røstet malt og mørk sjokolade. Preg av bourbon fra fatlagringen. Fyldig og velbalansert. Flott øl.

Good blend of flavor notes with the coffee and chocolate taking a slight backseat to the BA. Its smooth and almost a little flat due to the "espresso" Not a big fan. Its a heavy hitter though.
