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?

Poured at 53°. At 11 months old the coffee has started to fade, and I detect some green bell peppers in nose/on tongue. Still tasty, but my suggestion is if you got ‘em, drink ‘em!

Much calmer than I remember. Still ample coffee notes, but it's not as boozy as I remember. Which for this beer, really let's the coffee notes shine. I may actually prefer this one aged.

Masser av kaffe, men det burde ligge i kortene! Hint av sjokolade og ristede bønner, med en kremet konsistens. Fin som dessert, og et godt alternativ til irish, bare avkjølt!

Even better after some bottle age. The coffee is simply less forward and bitter (less screaming "look at me!")...and has melded together to form a more seamless experience. I do enjoy this even better (now) than regular KBS.

Life sucks at the moment, but at least I can “control beer” and make sure that this aspect of my life is of quality. And what a great beer it is, too. Anyways fantastic 🍻

Diep volle vanilla in geur. Knetter zwart in kleur. Amper schuim. Heel volle body koffie, chocolade, rozijnen, vanilla, zoethout. Er komt van alles voorbij. Mooie gebrande espresso in afdronk
