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?

Did not age well. Something really funky on the nose made it very bad to me

The extra coffee here is extremely well done: it doesn't get any off green pepper note at all despite having a massive coffee nose and finish. Really great.

Smooth for being as stout of an abv as it is. Espresso front, roasty rear.

Beautiful RIS. Outstanding coffee load. Burnt, roasty. Rich choc, licorice, wood/oak, vanilla, nuts. Lightly astringent. Huge layers. Medium bodied, oily, smooth, viscous, yet thin. Sweet, balanced. Discrete Bourbon, lightly boozy, warming. Great profile.

Have several bottles in storage. Still a solid tasting brew but not giving a foamy head when poured into the glass.

So well done. Too many coffee beers kill you with coffee, but this doesn’t. It’s there, but so is a warm, booziness from the BBA. Well done! Thanks Alan C.
