KBS - Chocolate Espresso

Dark chocolate, light espresso, and faint bourbon nose. Dark chocolate starts up front. It blends nicely with the espresso, faint vanilla, and bourbon in the finish. Definitely the best variant I've had since the regular Espresso variant.

You get a rich chocolate taste.

Strong chocolate nose. Mildly sweet, dark, rich, thick dark roasty chocolate with coffee at the finish. Boozy throughout. All the flavors are more subtle and subdued. Not much barrel presence. Still tasty.

Reminds me a lot of the regular kbs in recent years. Espresso is decent. Barrel is fairly light amd actually might be welcome for Mr. The chocolate is very prominent.

A decent imperial stout if not my favorite of the KBS series.

I feel like they have done this already. How’s about coconut or adjunct free?

Founders always hits the mark with their CBS and KBS series. This one features a good dose of chocolate and a nice espresso kick. Get some oak too. Really good, especially after it warms up a bit.

On to the Chocolate Espresso version of KBS. Smells like coffee. Has a coffee finish. Might let this warm up a bit before giving it a rating. Warmed up and it’s not quite as harshly bitter, but there aren’t a lot of flavor different from regular KBS.

Not a fan of Founders but KBS is good and I wanted to try this variant. A tad too much of the roasty, bitter coffee flavor for me but I’m being picky because it’s still a good chocolate coffee stout.

And another one. I love espresso martinis, therefore, must taste this punchy bev. Yum

Flavors are great as expected. I had hoped for a little more body and mouthfeel on draft. Sweeter than traditional KBS but not as sweet as Mackinac fudge edition. Coffee flavor was a little on the burnt side to me—kinda like Starbucks.

Really great flavor and viscosity

Twangy fruit and Ghirardelli high octane dark chocolate. And a ton of roast malt. Founder does Imp Stout. Founder’s Cheers!

Roasty espresso up front with a slight burn and then the chocolate comes in nicely. Wish it was just a touch heavier. Going to save some for a nice cold fall/winter day.

Not a vast departure from the original at all, but the coffee feels predictably punchier. Firm bitterness cleans it up very well.

JohnJohn

As described. Good flavors, good chocolate with roasty coffee. Not thin but not super thick or boozy. The 12% will sneak up on you.
