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?

Very disappointing, especially at $5.00/12 Oz. Just not that smooth or satisfying at all.

Very little head, very flat mouthfeel, smells boozy, chocolate taste overpowers any coffee, quite bitter, needs some sweetness. Same room temp or chilled.

Bottle from 2019. Barrel presence gone and coffee flavor very robust.

I know I’ve had better stouts man. The question is, why is this beer so beloved? I wait to find out

De epresso was niks voor mij. Alcohol was veels te sterk. Het was wel drinkbaar maar kan het niet op krijgen. Zo zwaar was die

Missing the thickness that I feel should be associated with a beefy barrel-aged stout. I feel like the viscosity of this beer doesn’t lend itself to carrying some of the bolder flavors a beer of this stature should posses. #intoxicatedthoughts

Tastes a little like coffee, a lot like bourbon, but not bad

Thanks Bryan P. for sharing. Taste like drinking straight black coffee, best I can remember. Not a coffee drinker.

Côté sirupeux, bourbon, très alcoolisé. Évidemment, une impression de boire un Espresso froid
