KBS Chocolate Coffee Stout

Love KBS but these. Coffee beers fall off a cliff in 18-24 months with degradation of their acids and hops. Best always enjoyed fresh IMHO.

Hard pour if you’ve a desire to to see a head of coffee foam in dark cappuccino. It loiters a little with unctuous lacing that stick in place in globules, sporadically spaced. Dark chocolate scented, where brew, and coffee bean mix with toffee and sweet cedar, vanilla bean and nougat. Chocolate-pecan-caramel turtles amp up with mocha and espresso, a tiny pinch of black pepper, dark tobaccos, bakers chocolate, and brown sugar coated malt chocolate. Sweet initially, then revelatory as it sorts its relationships, then bitter, with pine, acanthus, chicory, walnut and pecan shell. Warm, rich, and covered in monster muck. Like a cigar smoke filled station wagon driven by a dark chocolate Santa after an Italian truck stop espresso run being slowly pulled into a tar pit. One for the ages. Happy holidays, ya filthy animals!

Yowzer. So damn good.

HolyHoly crap. I have this on tap the other day, and it is so much better out of bottle. The keg seemed very closed, hard and angular. Does beer age in a similar way to wine? Two larger formats, Like kegs, develop slower?

Smells like an upscale French bistro before brunch. Viola! This needs to age and open up like a fine Napa Cab.

Good but not a stand out.

Outstanding coffee ☕️ bitterness this year. Roasty, toasty burnt coffee nose. Deliciously dry.

One of the best seasonal beers made. Not super bitter but the coffee, chocolate and bourbon really come through. With a few years age- this would be jaw dropping. Similar to the devil dancer in that way.

Heavy, delicious and bourbons. Long tasty, malty finish.

I'm not usually a huge big boozy stout fan...but this is smooth as velvet.
