Imperial Stout with Chocolate and Hazelnut Coffee Aged in Oak Bourbon Barrels
The perfectly balanced and decadent drinking experience of KBS meets the classic taste of hazelnut. Taking this bourbon barrel-aged stout to a new level, KBS Hazelnut allows the existing premium coffee and chocolate notes to soar to new heights when accented by the nutty sweetness of hazelnut.

Sweet and roasted malty with lots of sweet chocolate, some toffee and caramel sweetness, hazelnut is there but nicely balanced (unlike many others with this addition) full bodied, getting the bourbon washing in to the sweet malty hazelnut accented close.

bottle from meny, toftegårds plads, valby. aroma is hazelnut, sweet caramel, dark chocolate, roasted malts. syrupy. flavor is roasted malty, seriously nutty, faint dark chocolate powder, end is roasted malty coffeeish quite solid bitterness. very robust imperial stout, although the hazelnut never really finds its place and just sticks out as an oddity, no fault on the base beer.
