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?

Delicious stout. Full-bodied, but not as full as one may think from a bourbon barrel stout. Tastes of peanut butter, chocolate, roasted malt, and maybe a finish of toffee. Not too heavy on bourbon or coffee. Minimal boozy aftertones. Smooth!

It was good. It’s not a CBS but a great alternative.

Nice espresso pick-me-up on a KBS. Dry throughout, oaky, bourbon... only chocolate on the nose. Teet… 2nd verse, same as first

Great espresso flavor. Definitely a breakfast beer though. A donut makes a great sweet compliment

They nailed the coffee/expresso flavors. The alcohol is muted in this smooth, easy sipping stout.

めっちゃコーヒーの香り、コーヒーに加えてバニラっぽい甘さもあり、全体的に濃いからエスプレッソに納得、これはうまい

Not as good as regular KBS but still great. Espresso is nice, somehow brings out a licorice flavour in it which is okay but detracts a little compared to standard KBS

Coffee, , chocolate, mocha, vanilla, some bourbon and caramel. Sweet and creamy with some roasty bitterness in the finish. Great.
