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?

Strong coffee note on the nose (bit of baking chocolate too). Momentary sweetness is damped by roasted malt and coffee astringency. Finish is fairly dry and bitter, esp. for a BA stout. Bit of a fuel note. All the coffee hides most of the barrel notes.

A very tasty stout. The notes upfront are dark bitter chocolate and roasted malts. The espresso comes through on the finish while the bourbon ageing is subtle.

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.

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

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.
