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?

Bunch of coffee, light sweetness throughout, coffee might be overpowering the barrel, kbs feeling naturally, medium body. Nice

A bit of a bite. A bit of chocolate. A bit of barrel

I prefer the bite of the bourbon of the OG KBS but this definitely a great mellowed out option. Also I’ve apparently decided to knock out all my high gravity beers before heading to transplant.

Roasty, coffee start hides a smoky bourbon finish. Rich in the mouth.

Tasty stuff: the usual KBS goodness with a very subtle but nice coffee note. Not at all vegetal, but a pleasant chocolate/coffee/bourbon combination.

Some coffee bite in the palate but aside from that it’s as you’d expect.

Extreme espresso flavor, little bitterness in the taste considering the 70IBU, can definitely feel the ABV.

‘19. Coffee has faded a bit to reveal some barrel.

The coffee is nice, but it sort of overpowers the barrel character.
