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?

Extremt fyllig och krämig, mycket kaffe allmänt rostad smak. Nötig eftersmak med lite mörkchoklad! Smakar krämig espresso!!

Tuoksussa todella tuhti kahvipapujen aromi, tummaa suklaata, maitosuklaata ja paahtoleipää. Maku on erittäin kahvinen, paahdettua mallasta, tammea, suklaata. Jälkimaku kahvinen, kuivahko ja aavistuksen katkera. Paranee lämmetessään kohti huoneenlämpöä.

Strong roasted coffee and chocolate flavour. Smooth and easy drinking for a 12% ABV stout. Another awesome beer from Founders

Magnificent heavy hitter. Great aromas of roasted coffee, chocolate, and possibly some vanilla notes from the Oak BBA. The synergy of this combo is second to none. Very smooth and drinkable @12% with almost no burn.

Doble Stout con claros matices a café y barrica fuertemente presente pero creando un todo cremoso y redondo. ¿Quien quiere un carajillo? Magistral!

Had this soon after having a KBS. Interesting contrast. Similar flavours, but distinctly stronger coffee flavour. Not over-done though, very well-balanced, and tempers the boozy undertones. Enjoyed this more than the KBS.

Probably the most espresso like stout I’ve tried, great ground coffee bitterness, mild BA, mellow and smooth

Very tasty, though I think I like the original better. Maybe this would be better if it aged a little longer.
