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?

Fudge!!! Coffee, bourbon!!! This is outstanding. The alcohol heat doesn't burn, but it does linger. I'm really enjoying this.

I don’t want to lower my score n throw the ratings off but I will say I enjoyed it more prior to aging it a little. It mellowed out too much

Es más café que el propio café. Con bourbon y chocolate, además, pero eso: es hiperrealismo cafetero-cervecil. La mente se confunde y no sabe si emborracharse o espabilarse. ¡Bloqueo positrónico! … Bueno, no: sí se emborracha, pero dentro de la lucidez.

Smooth, heavy/deep coffee char. I don't drink coffee or even espresso for that, but from what I read it is supposed to be this so BGTD

My “sleep-aid” beer. Work is done before the “work” begins anew in the morning. Bought this for the nephew, Landon L. , but he’s turned to whiskey…..don’t blame him a bit!

Booze stands out more than other variants after a year of aging. Extra coffee / espresso not noticeable. Still the pinnacle of craft beers.

Lovely coffee overtones with a solid stout foundation. Hints of bourbon sweetness balance out the espresso.

Coffee Roast and Vanilla Dominated this one. Sitting on it for a year my have upped the Sweetness and mellowed the barrel notes. I think I preferred it fresh but still amazing.

There's a tinge of alcohol that kicks through everything. Sweetness has mellowed out.
