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?

In geur O zo sterk geurend naar donkere natte aarde en zwarte koffie. In slok o zoveel koffie voorop, daarna komt het bourbonvat door in de nasmaak, vleugje vanille mag geen naam hebben. Maar pff wat een strakke bitter van de koffie zeg!

Good flavor. A little boozy for me but drinkable. Bottled date 09.09.21 Almost like a cask style.

This KBS has stronger coffee mouthfeel than its regular version. My bottle’s been in the fridge for a couple of winters, so that may be the reason why the aged flavors aren’t coming through. It’s a good beer, though I would still recommend original KBS.

Coffee over coffee with an extra of coffee... and a bit of chocolate. Tasty, but I was expecting creamier.

闻着可以,咖啡增味恰如其分。因为刚喝完延龄草,这个入口酒体偏薄而且酸,升温后完全摩卡壶沉底的咖啡渣水,简直一模一样。

Last one from the Nov. 2019 batch. 49 months is too much. Very smooth with barely any alcohol presence. Barrel notes very mellow, mostly caramel sweetness. Bitter cocoa and plenty of roasted coffee. Much less body than anticipated.

A pretty serious coffee bomb that bring bitter beans and solid barrel in a full bodied pour. Strong and a bit boozy. Ashy, charcoal and licorice bite, nothing wimpy here. Smooth but not a creamy mix, more of a heavy aqueous feel that’s finely carbonated.

Savoury aroma of coffee beans.Smooth on the palate, with a mellow, raisiny sweetness derived from bourbon casks and a savoury coffee flavour.

Split this with James over brunch and Always Sunny/South Park Christmas specials. He bought it before he found out that Founders was still racist.

Smooth, rich, delicious with thick mouthfeel like a KBS, then the Espresso cuts softly across the palate to finish cleanly. Cannot think of a better example!
