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?

Not totally sure what "mouthfeel" is, but I don't hate it.

Lots of coffee on the nose. Flavors of coffee and dark chocolate and maybe a little vanilla. Supper long finish.

Last time I had this was March 7th, 2020. Covid was just beginning. At least this is awesome.

Great coffee/expresso aroma and taste; not as syrupy or boozy as many barrel ages beers!

It was a lot better than I thought. Was fearing the coffee flavor would be overwhelming. But i enjoyed it a lot. Went good with my spicy chicken sammy n the company. The beer rep didnt swing by the table tho. Was hoping to get some new swag

Wao wao. Ronda de aplausos y reverencias a Founders por esta exquisitez de cerveza. Espresso de inicio a fin con toques de chocolate, madera y bourbon. Los 12% ni se sienten pero estan allí, de sorbos para sentarse a disfrutar.
