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?

From the advent box. I like that they put cellared beers in, but the espresso was stronger when it was new. Still a great beer.

Cracked open a 2020 and it’s almost peppery! Definitely get some molasses sorta sense as well. The chocolate side is subdued, but the espresso is just right. Fantastic!!

Nice smooth coffee flavor comes on strong. Get some oak and a slight bit of whiskey at the finish

Zeer romige stout. Fijne bittere karamel cappuccino espresso pure chocolade. Mild zoete rozijnen esdoornsiroop. Veel prettig houttonen. Mooie kruidig. Wat marshmallows in afdronk. Blijft een gouden klassieker

Bien tassé, tout est perceptible et solidement installé. Ça se marche pas sur les pieds. Pas trop sucré, pas boozy du tout, peu à redire. Surtout en si bonne compagnie.

Had a backlog of dark beers. The espresso variation might be my favorite. Hopefully won’t regret imbibing it near midnight.

So smooth and velvety. Big chocolate and coffee initially, then the oak bourbon barrels kick in, and ends with an alcohol burn.
