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?

12 Days of Beer, Day #1 Would have probably been better last year, but still tasty.

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?

I have to be honest in this review. I didn’t love the expresso taste in this one. The stout was less bold-tasting than anticipated

Malty. Smooth. Rich. Sweet. Oddly enough, more coffee nose than flavor. More chocolate on the palette.

Needed a little Expresso tonight. Flavors have faded a bit but the base Stout is still there. Cleaning the Cellar out so I don't have to move as many bottles! #lifegoals

Starting to drop off a bit with age. A little thinner than I remember. Not as strong.

Forgot to check this in before. Either the other flavors in this beer are too subdued, or the coffee is too overpowering.
