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?

Chocolate on the nose, straight up espresso mouthfeel, melts into a bourbon barrel haze…mmmm 🤤

Like eating dark chocolate covered espresso beans with a bourbon barrel stout. The barrel is still there but I think the big alcohol character has mellowed with age.

I think 2 to 3 years is spot on for this beer. The coffee/espresso is phenomenal and gives the barrel a run for its money.

Ok, so this was part of the awesome group of beers my brother got from his friend Scott. I just so happened to have the same vintage of this beer previously and I have to say it aged quite nicely. Notes of chocolate and espresso and very well balanced

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.

珈琲の香りが甘くて香ばしい、口に含むと炭酸ソーダのように甘く広がる感じた。これは珈琲がプレントしたビール、お酒だと思う。
