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?

Lovely coffee aroma, dark, smooth. You could pour this over ice and honestly mistake it for a cold brew. It is slightly bitter as to be expected and would probably pair well with a cookie or cake for dessert.

Bitter coffee at first, though it’s smoothed over as it warms, and present a nice barrel aged presence. Warms you up on a chilly, damp evening. Perfect for the occasion.

Smells like coffee beans, tastes like dark dark caramel sweetness chocolate. Bourbon is there, like it!

So strong, so dark, so rich, and spiced to all hell. Cinnamon, gingerbread, molasses coffee. Boozy and thick and deep and insane. Really good, but I’m having a hard time even making it through just one because the flavor is SO intense.

A personal favorite... Weirdly for me it pairs well with a bacon ranch pizza.

Deze doet denken aan de oudere KBS. Meer chocolade en vooral veel meer koffie. Licht in de bourbon BA en boozy, maar wel typisch Founders smaak. Geslaagde variant.

Barrel aging and alcohol burn was a tad strong to rate it any higher.
