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?

Bottled on 04/23/20. Foamy head, rich smell - think cocoa, nougat, a tad of burnt wood. Full mouthfeel, almost sirupy. Strong coffee and espresso notes, bitter aftertaste. Tasty beer, slightly prefer regular KBS though.

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

Tasty beverage though sadly, late in the game, I’ve just learned that there is much to do at Founders to address racism and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. Hopefully they embrace the challenge but for now they’ve seen the last of my business

Really rich coffee and chocolate. Delicious but on the verge of being too over the top heavy. Like eating a giant piece of chocolate cake with mocha frosting an inch thick.

De bekende KBS, maar dan met extra koffie. En dat is expres zo. Heerlijk, al is het origineel nog beter. Deze is wat harder en droger.

It's strong and the bitterness of espresso, not the subtle delicious espresso though :(

This bourbon barrel aged stout is fantastic!! The expresso beans are perfectly balanced - just what one needs in a cup in the morning. LOL!
