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?

Tasty stuff: the usual KBS goodness with a very subtle but nice coffee note. Not at all vegetal, but a pleasant chocolate/coffee/bourbon combination.

Some coffee bite in the palate but aside from that it’s as you’d expect.

Extreme espresso flavor, little bitterness in the taste considering the 70IBU, can definitely feel the ABV.

‘19. Coffee has faded a bit to reveal some barrel.

The coffee is nice, but it sort of overpowers the barrel character.

De espresso is dermate dominant dat bijna alle andere smaken overschaduwd worden. Dat is jammer, want de KBS heeft zoveel meer te bieden. Een straf bakkie blijft over. Goed te doen voor een espresso liefhebber als ik, maar dat is het dan ook.

This is good but was expecting a little more. Only slight coffee flavor and the viscosity isn’t quite up to my standards. Wouldn’t complain if you handed this to me but not worth the price tag imo
