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?

It's unquestionably high quality, and quite good...but...it just didn't do a ton for me, at least not relative to the straight KBS I've had.

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.

My “sleep-aid” beer. Work is done before the “work” begins anew in the morning. Bought this for the nephew, Landon L. , but he’s turned to whiskey…..don’t blame him a bit!

So damn coffee heavy. Smells of freshly roasted beans. Sips sweet and smooth. Drinks full but less heavy than it’s 12% ABV. Admittedly I have a soft spot for coffee stouts and this not only tugs, but tears at my heart strings. My advise, stock up!

Last bottle & it’s time; coffee continues to fade and green peppers are present; chocolate, oak and bourbon on backend. Downgrading to a 4.5. Drink these sooner than later. Happy Thanksgiving y’all!

Coffee is there, but mellowed a bit with age. Chocolate is nice and smooth, mild booze.
