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?

Not bad, but it’s a bit of a let down after Maple Mackinac Fudge.

Strong coffee flavor, will most likely cellar the remaining 3 to age and mellow out the intensity. Jury is still out on this one

I honestly don’t think the espresso version is that special. But the mix with the Mackinac Fudge is amazing.

Blends the coffee in without the bitterness in so many coffee beers. Need to have one morning for brunch.

Not sure that I'm excited about the coffee mixing with the bourbon. It's an interesting combo. Still good though.

I’m used to the boozy bourbon kick of the usual batch, but this one comes right at you with the espresso instead. Akin to eating chocolate covered espresso beans, the coffee bitterness is addicting. More in your face roasty-ness and less smooth though

It’s alright. Not much coffee or chocolate to the extent that I wanted. Much rather drink the black chocolate stout by Brooklyn brewery

Like drinking a bag of coffee grounds. Incredibly intense flavor but very good.

Strong coffee finish. Relatively easy drinker, considering it’s barrel aged. Not bad 👍🏼
