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?

Well balanced with coffee and bourbon. Chocolatey. Thick. Warming.

Espresso is upfront and tasty, but it drowns out the softer notes that set this base stout apart.

Always a good one, in this version it is even more coffeish. On nose it has a strong aroma of roasted espresso beans with some cocoa notes. Creamy and oily texture with a rich and complex flavor, full body, strong coffee taste but never overlying.

Mellowed out in the cellar… not as robust and roasty

It is what it is. I liked it better fresh. Aged 14 months…much more espresso bean-y now and thinner. Maybe I should have waited longer?

This has smoothed out nicely over the past year. Great flavors of chocolate, vanilla, Bourbon and Espresso.

Extra coffee is always good. Smells of green coffee that’s not roasted. Rich barrel aged flavors with an extra addition of rich espresso. Smoothed out since the last one on initial release.

Yum. Super roasty from the espresso and very smooth. No traces of 12% here. Drinkable and delicious on a cold night.

A day late but a happy belated to the mighty Kirby D. ! Seemed appropriate to pop this liquid bottle of “no sleep for you!” Deep + roasty espresso vibes that feels like Salt Bae was wasted, grabbed the sugar vs the salt, and elbow dropped in this glass.
