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?

A bit strong, but still a beautiful KBS variant that stands up against anything.

Lots of coffee flavor. I think it would be better if it had aged since 2012

The coffee explosion I expected... Matt & Donnie, don't bother, but if you like a Jolt of Joe, this'll do it. Fat with flavor, thin on body... Like many old favorites, KBS doesn't hold up to today's best Stouts, but certainly going to finish this pour.

Another awesome variant of the outstanding KBS. Been really low on coffee stouts but man this thing is the bomb. The coffee flavor blends really well with the booziness of this beer. KBS super smooth mouthfeel but also rich and perfectly filling.

YUM! Malty sweet like a barrel aged stout tends to be, with a solid coffee flavor throughout out. Sweetness and bitterness is well balanced.

The extra espresso is a nice touch even when a bit more fresh like this one. Barrel notes come thru later maybe due to additional aging time or flavor.
