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?

Heavy chocolate/coffee notes. Drinks a little like an imperial stout, though not as bitter as other imperials, especially Russian imperials. A little sweet, like dark chocolate is sweet.

Not so much espresso flavor, but a little chewy/powdery mouthfeel. Classy

Soft coffee nose, full coffee drink. Bitter yet mild. Very nicely done. Slight bitter cut near the end, but all in all very nice. #BAdoneright Ike & Tina Turner - River deep, mountain high

Oddly enough, not my favorite. Still good, but it was a lot more bitter and thin than I was expecting. Not bad though!

That'll kick you right in the behind! Nothing but espresso and alcohol. Amazing, but too much for me.

Another boozy bomb. This is so bourbon forward. It's woody and dry. Dry coffee crystals. But gosh, it's hard to get much that besides that bourbon!
