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?

Cellared 3 years - Finish has shifted from oak to char; otherwise, all espresso notes are there from nose to profile with faint licorice and cocoa. One left in the fridge ... one more year, doubting any maturation.

2020 release, brewed in November 2019. I don't think the aging made it better per se, but it was still quite tasty.

Bottled 3 years ago and held up great. Might be the best KBS in my opinion. Slight barrel flavor and plenty of roasted coffee.

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.

Coffee is a bit more bitter than I'd like like. I love my coffee though. Just something about the way this has aged is a bit more decadent yet strong!

Sitting in the back of the fridge for 3 years and still tastes banging. Chocolate and coffee are still there. Bourbon is present but subtle. Delicious.

Not bad. Tasty brew, but missing the espresso. I would still drink more of it. Smooth and rich!

Has a bite to it. 3 years old. More butter. Boozy. Coffee after taste. Roasty.

Länge sen man drack denna, fortsatt riktigt riktigt fin alltså, kaffet har inte dämpats alls utan det är riktigt mycket, riktigt fin kaffesmak. När den smakridån lagt sig ångar KBS:en på tryggt bakom, klart bättre än senaste årens vanliga-versioner!

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.

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
