KBS Espresso

Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee

Variant of KBS 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?

Smell of bourbon on the pour. The bourbon and expresso mix together very well. Thanks Shawn!

Really nice once it warms up a bit. Coffee dominates, but there’s cacao, vanilla, and a touch of caramel in the profile. Alcohol is only barely disguised… a bit boozy. Delicious!

My 500th unique stout, and a damn good one. Strong coffee mixed with cocoa and a relatively light bourbon barrel aging to provide alcohol delights. Give credit to Founders, a brilliant maker of stouts.

Strong boozy barrel notes, there’s coffee in there but honestly it edged toward the whiskey more than anything.

If one Imperial Stout is good, two must be better (then we gotta go). This one is just as good as the Surly, only coffee is the dominant flavor. Same 12.0% ABV (that’s why I have to go after this one).

Aroma: bourbon, roasty smaak: bourbon!!!! Warm, vooral zachte vloeibare whiskey, lekker! Volle smeuge koffie. Nasmaak is bitter koffie achtig en droog koffie mondgevoel

Extreme coffee aroma. Bitter coffee and super roasted malt flavor. Booze and dark chocolate mid to finish. The finish is bitter as well. Deep coffee aftertaste. This beer is very profound in flavors...each one is extreme and wonderful.

Legendary. I always love this beer. Better than the original, better than Mackinac. Just short of CBS and BCBS. Great stuff.
