Maple Syrup Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee Chocolate Stout
CBS was born when we stumbled upon some bourbon barrels that had previously housed maple syrup. We opted to put the same base beer as KBS, an imperialized version of Breakfast Stout, in the maple barrels and, after one taste, we knew we had something special. Rich maple syrup, roasted coffee and velvety chocolate meld together in what can only be described as a transcendental drinking experience.

Dokładnie tego się spodziewałem, beczka po bourbonie który zalano syropem klonowym a następnie KBS to jest to, mam nadzieję że info o ostatniej warce (2019) to fejk. W nosie zaraz po otwarciu przyjemna wanilia z czekoladą, po jakimś czasie nuty syropu klonowego ( który często używam i lubię), kakao, sam aromat jakoś mnie nie powalił, za to smak - jest słodziaszek ale jaki gładki, aksamitny i kawowo alkoholowy ( bourbon) finisz. Chętnie powtórzę jak uda się gdzieś jeszcze znaleźć. Napisane po wypiciu 150ml cały czas się otwiera...

Fairly thin body, sweet, a bit boozy. Milk coffee, some maple, some bourbon, a hint of racism. Loved the previous years, this feels a bit watered down. Still very nice.

A black beer, a head is quite small and brown. Aroma has strong coffee, richness of malts and sweetness, some barrel, chocolate, hint of strength of alcohol. Taste has strong and smooth maltyness, coffee, chocolate, sweetness of caramel (or maple syrup), low notes of barrel, quite sweet, but nice. Full bodied, smooth, not stickyness. This beer has the famous great balance, it's more fashinating than the individual nuancees.

10.09.19.I remember my first CBS, it blew my mind so much I drove to a buddies house a couple blocks away cause I didn't want it to be a selfish experience. This is far from that. Mostly sweet coffee. No more maple chocolate overdose. More malt than maple

355 ml bottle. Murky black with a creamy mocha head. Bourbon, maple syrup, brown sugar, caramel, some coffee and chocolate, dried plum and pear. Boozy sweetness, slightly dry. Full bodied, oily slick texture, soft carbonated, dry sweet finish. Way too sweet in my opinion.
