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?

It was much better the first time I had it. Wondering if this is not going to age well...

I'm most definitely getting espresso vibes! A dark and very roasty brew with a lovely sweetness to it. The finish is bitter and roasty.

The amount of boxes in my living room drove me to drink. 🤣 I hate packing to move!

More zoom tasting. Super roasty/coffee. After the last KSB, I want to rate it slightly lower. I get less flavor and more syrup-y ness in comparison.

It’s all about the incredibly well roasted coffee, over powers everything else

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

Smakar kaffe och sött.Lite rostbeska. Tjock och mjuk munkänsla. Verkar inte tagit någon skada av lagringen, även om jag inte vet hur den smakade från början.

Black; tan head. Smells like coffee, dark chocolate, woody oak barrel, bit of funk. Full body, robust, boozy, with woody, coffee, dark chocolate, and berry flavors. Feels like drinking something special, but it's a little overdone for me.

Kommer tyvärr en hel del kokta grönsaker i både doften och smaken, men den är ju rätt gammal så förståeligt. Ok, men hade nog varit bättre färsk.

Struggle with the lack of sweetness. Coffee is nice. Color is as expected. Seems a bit thin.

Mostly dark and bitter. Not noticing much in the way of flavor notes. Boozy, I guess. Disappointing. Seems like there's no residual sweetness, maybe that would help.

Kawa, kawa, kawa. Mocno ziemista, orzechowa troszkę, przepalona. Dalej mnóstwo wódy. Zero beczki sensu stricte, ale alkoholowość przepotężna. Mało ciała, półwytrawne, trochę czekolady, ale przez alkohol ciężko i mało przyjemnie się pije.
