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?

This is a wonderful combination of coffee, chocolate, and bourbon. Very balanced with a touch of alcohol at the end.

Less bourbon than regular KBS, but also less alcohol. Well done.

Neither as much coffee taste nor as much barrel age taste as I was expecting at first. But they are there, just subtler than regular KBS.

De normale KBS is al een genot, super in balans, met koffie, chocolade en bourbon barrels...maar deze gooit er nog ff een dikke bom espresso doorheen! Helemaal top! De chocolade en bourbon blijven mooi overeind! Volgende keer bij het ontbijt 😜

Not sure what about 'ale brewed with coffee and chocolate' is different from regular Breakfast Stout, which is what KBS itself based on...regardless, this is darn good

Lite överprisad, men smakar definitivt kaffe. Ganska len och rejäl munkänsla, en del bourbon av någon anledning

Wow! Founders har lyckats igen. Vilket bryggeri. Skitgod kaffe & mörk choklad. Bourbonfatlagringen gör att det uppstår en härlig bismak av kokos. Fyllig, len med kanonfin kakaobeska som känns i gom & tunga. Alkoholen ger skön värme. Hög klass rakt igenom.

Wauw! Geweldige stout weer van founders, de allerbeste stout voor mij tot nu toe. Heerlijke berg koffie in combinatie met de barrel zorgt voor een lekker zachte afdronk waarbij je ook een subtiel klein beetje vanille proeft. Super.

Iets minder bourbon, iets meer koffie en ook meer body dan de gewone KBS. Ik hou van een goeie sterke bak koffie, dus ja dit is top!

Goed. Daar niet van. Veel hout in het aroma en in de afdronk. Espresso... mwah, meer gewoon zwarte koffie qua smaak en bitterheid. Wat prikkelend, tintelend, koolzuur. Klein btj zoet maar, eigenlijk geen bourbon in de smaak. Valt al met al ietwat tegen.
