Founders Brewing Announces 2 KBS Variants for October

Founders Brewing announced today 2 variants for their Kentucky Bourbon Stout: Espresso and Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa. While Espresso has been released before, the Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa version is brand new.

Here’s what Founders said about each.

Espresso:

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? 12.0% ABV.

Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa:

Here’s one for the cocoa lovers: KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa – the sumptuous, deep coffee and chocolate flavors of KBS rise to the next level with a swirl of cinnamon and a hint of vanilla to create a sweet-but-not-too-sweet barrel-aged drinking experience. It’s a whole new spin on KBS that’s sure to sweeten your spirits. 12.0% ABV.

Both beers will be available at the taprooms starting August 27th in draft and 4-pack bottles; they will be available outside of the brewery in October in both formats (unless you are in Utah – no draft – or Mississippi – no distribution).
