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?

Whoa. This is almost not a beer. Chocolatey and heavy coffee notes. Creamy and syrupy. Not quite as good as it's maple counterpart, but a fucking treat. Would go well over vanilla ice cream, but that would be a waste of beer.

Big, boozy creamy mouthfeel. Thick coffee roastiness. Expect nothing but perfection from the KBS series.

KBS är klass som vanligt. Jag tycker inte att den här skiljer sig så mycket från den vanliga, men den får lite mer bitterhet från kaffet + att avslutet är väldigt kaffetungt. Summa sumarum mycket bra men jag föredrar nog originalet.

Tuesday lunchtime dessert. Yum. Cocoa, coffee, and booze. What more do you need.

Smooth and thick, with lots of roasty coffee flavor and a hint of vanilla.

Expresso kick on this BBA beauty. I am getting the caffeine, and great dark chocolate flavor.

Stark arom av kaffe, lite bourbon finns också. Mycket kaffe i smaken med lite mörk frukt och en fin Bourbon avslutning. Kan bli något mjukare av lagring. Betyget kvarstår.

Strong notes of coffee, sweet roasted malt and chocolate. Light oak and vanilla. Licorice. Thick mouthfeel. Not as complex as the regular KBS.

Meget kaffe. Malt også, begge dele godt ristet. Tilsæt en smule vanilje fra fad, ganske god

グラスに注ぐとロースト麦芽とコーヒーの苦い香りの組み合わせで醤油風。その奥にヴァニラ香。味は苦味酸味と来てチョコレートとバーボンの甘味でフィニッシュ。文句は特にない美味しさだけど、自分的には普通のKBSのが好みだな。

Super smooth, but that espresso hits ya pretty hard. Not your normal KBS kick, but, definitely behind the scenes knocking on the door.

Very smooth. Not a huge fan of coffee stouts, but always up for a barrel aged!!

Heel veel koolzuur en weinig barrel, veel espresso en beetje tjokola.

Even more roasted coffee character than the original, which overpowers the barrel. Let's hope I'll still manage to sleep tonight....

Det er nesten urettferdig mot andre øl. KBS-serien er enestående. Eneste aberet er at jeg glemte å ta med en av de "vanlige" KBSene for å sammenligne med.

Holy crap. Awesome beer! Opens with a sweetened stout flavour, explodes to an intense coffee flavour that lingers( like taking a shot of espresso) Long after taking a sip. Superlative beer that makes me long for more even as I’m writing this. 10/10

Definitely a very good beer, but not quite as amazing as the ‘regular’ KBS. Maybe I should have another one.

LCI very good espresso beer, KBS is a good beer with coffee already in it's flavours but in this one it's almost over the top! Loving it

A stout with man bits! Hits you over the head with the espresso. A hint of chocolate. Strong malt. Lingering mouth feel. A bad ass imperial!

Prefer standard KBS, but this is standard fare for Founders, Dark, Strong, Thick, Bitter. Brings a whiskey like heat from the barrel aging. Good stuff! 😍
