KBS Espresso
12.0% Imperial Stout
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?
IBU : 70

I never knew there were so many flankers, I have some catching up to do. The pour from the bottle revealed a medium to heavy body, jet black with some chocolate brown bubbles which dissipated quickly, leaving only trace amounts around the rim. Aromas of bourbon, brown sugar, molasses, a little vanilla and surprisingly, coming in last, and weakest, spent espresso. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, silky at first but rapidly turns syrupy with very mild carbonation at the end. Taste is very intense. A wall of strong bourbon upfront with waves of sweetness crashing in, shifting between vanilla and brown sugar. The espresso is like an afterthought at this stage, it barley registers. The bourbon circles back with a renewed intensity, it seems almost artificially enhanced, so much so that it's difficult to enjoy. Syrupy sweetness, again a little synthetic tasting, tried to resurface but is quickly beaten back down by the bourbon. It really does suffocate everything else and in the end, it's all too much. I think I won't bother with the other flavours but I'll certainly stick to the regular KBS.

Foundersin oluet eivät ole oikein enää napanneet viime aikoina, mutta KBS ollut luottovalinta. Tämä 2021 versio espresson kera. Jatkaa samaa rataa mitä edelliset versiot. Paahteisen kahvinen, pehmeän suklainen ja tamminen, bourbon-tynnyröinti toimii hyvin. Aavistuksen tulee ehkä kahvipavut tuoreempana esillä mitä tavallisessa versiossa, mutta muuten ei juurikaan eroa. KBS edelleen laadukas BA IS, vaikka tämä versio ei juurikaan erottunut tavallisesta.

OLUT: KBS Espresso PANIMO: Founders Brewing Co. OLUTTYYPPI: Imperial Stout (BA) MAA: Yhdysvallat VAHVUUS (ABV): 12.0% VÄRI (EBC): Tummanruskea (85.0) KATKEROT (EBU/IBU): 70.0 TUOKSU: Oho, sehän on moninainen. Moninaista espressopapua, mausteisuutta, hieman soijaista olemusta. Mielenkiintoinen. VAAHTO: Kermainen. Sormen mittainen. Tynkä. GREY’S VIEW Espresso Pavuilla maustettu & Bourbon BA Imperial Stout. Katsotaan maut. Ok. Maku antaa jyrkän raakaa kahvipapua, kitkerää espressoa, hieman raastettua suklaisuutta. Kermaisuus on häiveenä taustalla. Bourbon BA on täysin poissa oleva. Runko on paahteisen livakka, helppo ja livakka. MUUTA MAINITTAVAA: Odotukset eivät olleet korkealla, mutta pakko on nyt sanoa, että en suosittele tällaista oikein kenellekkään. Joka kulmalta raaka, puutteinen ja makupuoli on vielä tässäkin kohtaa tynkä. Hurjaa raaka-aineiden tuhlausta julkaista tällaista! BOTTLED 10/9/2021 TASTED 27/1/2023
