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?

Booze stands out more than other variants after a year of aging. Extra coffee / espresso not noticeable. Still the pinnacle of craft beers.

10.21.20! barrel aged goodness! vaina pa buena; bourbon en exceso, espresso de mañana, alcohol y cuerpo robusto. Es exceso y decadencia de inicio a fin. De sorbos y para disfrutar.

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.

Bottled 10.16.2020. Ooo this is really good. So many chocolate & coffee notes. The espresso complements KBS so well. A solid sipper, especially for a coffee lover like myself.

Lovely coffee overtones with a solid stout foundation. Hints of bourbon sweetness balance out the espresso.

No booze. Espresso at the forefront. Smooth and silky down the gullet. Nice winter warmer
