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?

Jet black. Coffee and cocoa aroma. Nice taste, slightly bitter. Thin body, otherwise it would get a higher mark.

В аромате бурбон, ничего другого я не нашёл. Вкус приятный, кофе очень отчётливый, однако алкоголь слишком явный. В былые времена обычному кбс я ставил даже пятёрку, я помню те ощущения, я бы такую алкогольность заметил. То, что я пью сейчас, явно хуже

She’s thick, sweet, and bursting with espresso beans. If I had a scoop of vanilla ice cream this beer would be a super star. I want to turn this into a float so bad. It’s such a great dessert beer. Would recommend, especially if you have ice cream.

Friend at founders hooked us up with some samples. I think I liked this more than the regular KBS. Less sweet, less boozy.

This is a great stout. It is very caramelly and it tastes like a banging espresso with cane sugar. The aftertaste seriously resembles a very roasty mochaccino. Delish!

This was completely lost in the back of my fridge. Totally forgot about it. Surprisingly, I’m still getting quite a bit of coffee. It’s so damn rich and fudgy. Is this comparable to coming back to soda after a year?

Nice take on the KBS. Very nice balance of coffee roastiness and chocolate. Not too sticky.

Well, no mistaking the coffee here...dayum. Almost forget it's beer there's so much espresso up front. Some barrel flavors do round it out. Base is better but this was an enjoyable pour

しっかりコーヒー、チョコレート。意外と軽い酸味も。特徴的すぎてKBSらしさはないけど、これは美味しい。あと、Breakfast Stoutのコスパが光るw

The coffee has faded considerably since my previous bottle, but there's still a nice bourbon barrel and roasted malt presence, with a big bitterness to end things out.
