KBS

Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee

This beer taught us that patience truly is a virtue. KBS is a big imperial stout brewed with a massive amount of coffee and chocolate and then bourbon barrel-aged to perfection. Incredibly silky and full-bodied with notes of vanilla, cocoa, roasted coffee and charred oak.

From last week. Good, but one-noted. Not heavy in coffee or chocolate flavor, but bourbon is prominent. Boozy but smooth, lacks richness and depth compared to other stouts. This used to be a gold standard for me.

Solid coffee stout with a bourbon note that's not overwhelming.

Another... In this movie he compared humans to pigs. Did you know that the US government had "pig towns" during their nuclear weapons testing due to the similarity?

Kyllähän tällainen aamupala viikonloppuisin maistuisi. Makeus ei missään välissä dominoi, mikä ensiarvoisen tärkeää. Paahdetta, kahvia, kevyttä suklaata. Alkoholista ei tunnetta. Herkkua.

Very sweet. Full bodied, with dark chocolate immediately on the palete. Some drip coffee and vanilla round off the finish. Not super bourbon-y. Label says 45 IBU. A little extra hoppy bitterness to round off the sweetness would make this beer perfect.

Hmm, beetje oud waardoor de bourbon weg is en de koffie overheerst of is mijn smaak verander tov de vorige?

The legendary KBS underwhelmed. Medium body and slightly creamy. Heavy on the coffee and chocolate notes. Boozy and low on the oak and Bourbon notes. Little harsh and unbalanced. At 12% ABV, I expected more Bourbon but just got booze. Still good though.

Rich, barrel aged, chocolatey with a bit of coffee in there. A great way to spend $4 or $5.

Amazingly smooth and delicious. Not a beer for everyday, but great with heavier foods like dessert or rich sauces.
