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?

Woooo, definitely let it warm up a bit! Too boozy when cold. Otherwise, good.

Better than the original. The coffee helps cut through the sweetness.

Good, of course.Espresso notes on the finish. I definitely liked the Mackinaw Island Fudge variant more. I don’t get much bourbon.

Paired with cold weather and... my first viewing of The Karate Kid? I guess stranger things happen. Coffee here is out of this world. It's basically (slightly) chocolatey espresso with a cheeky splash of whiskey for oomph. Not at all sticky, finishes dry.

Heel veel koffie, cacao, wat vanille, initieel een klein zoetje, maar eindigt droog en flink bitter. Ondanks het percentage proef je niets van de alcohol. De bittere nasmaak kan ik wel waarderen, de koffie vind ik iets te overheersend.

Dejlig stout. Godt rundet af og bitterheden fra kaffen spiller godt uden tandplejere alt for meget. En god Breakfast stout også. God, men mangler lidt i forhold til den almindelige KBS og CBS

My first Founders since their social SNAFU last year. Sweet, malty, and with bunch of roasty coffee with a slightly bitter finish.

Coffee and alcohol aroma. Espresso and chocolate flavor with a touch of bourbon. Smooth. Delicious. Great paired with strawberry shortcake.
