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?

Не, настоящее кофе в таких вещах лишнее. Будто цемент нюхаю / лижу. Потом семечки подсолнуха пошли.

Odd, strong coffee and in general flavor, but almost no bourbon.

For as amazing as founders is I can’t believe they push this so hard. I want to like it but I just can’t. In my opinion KBS is easily the worst beer that founders makes.

Cerveza muy fuerte, con aroma a barrica y toque a café. Es el sustituto de un café irlandés.

Onmiskenbaar volle bak koffie in geur en smaak. In t land waar espresso is uitgevonden past dit prima. Complex en daardoor moeilijk drinkbaar. Voor mij tè dik en tè koffie.

This makes a great breakfast beer. The expression notes come though nicely, and it is aromatic when pouring out of the bottle. It is missing a small kick.

It's not bad, just not for me. Even after letting it set for almost a year, still too much barrel.

Split this with James over brunch and Always Sunny/South Park Christmas specials. He bought it before he found out that Founders was still racist.

€4.50, 0.33. Кофе с бурбоном, грубо, алкашно и просто. Не знаю как можно неправильно хранить РИС, либо их уже подделывать начали, но это хрень какая-то

Heel bits! Letterlijk een zoete espresso met 12%. De stout is ver te zoeken.
