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?

Aroma of ground espresso beans, the front of the palate has hints of orange/chocolate, followed by a nice barrel aged rich malt flavor. As it warms the hints of orange/chocolate last longer as well as the espresso.

Wow. Not sure how this has eluded me, but damn. The extra punch from the espresso is totally noticeable and adds to the flavor profile for sure.

What I expected, KBS but with more coffee on the nose and more roast on the finish.

Another phenomenal stout by Founders. Almost- but not quite- completely different from regular KBS. Just espresso and awesomeness. Thanks for saving it for me Ty!

Dark pour. Smells way stronger of bitter, roasty coffee on draft, with a slight hint of the bourbon/vanilla notes. Taste is smooth at 12%, with hits of roasty coffee, chocolate, vanilla & bourbon all shining through. Coating of coffee in the mouth. Great!
