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?

Espresso comes through super heavy on the finish. Like regular kbs on coffee steroids. Thoroughly enjoyed it tho.

The additional coffee is not dominant, but it caused other flavors to be more muted. It's a tamer version of its original, which I'm not enjoying as much. Upside, super smooth for 12%.

Dark. Tan head subsided. Boozy, sweet. Dry, roasty coffee. Excellent as expected.

2021 release....absolutely phenomenal. The coffee is done perfectly. Maybe my favorite variation, neck in neck with Mackinac

Probably the best Founders I've had. Usually each type I've tried has been super watery, but this kind has great body. I'd get it again for sure.

A step back from the original. The coffee doesn’t come through as you’d expect and want
