    How do KBS Espresso and Hazelnut variants compare to the original KBS in terms of sweetness?

    My review of Espresso has nothing on sweetness. Still, I enjoyed the beer :wink:

    This is pretty coffee forward like that barista I dated in my junior year at State - but it’s also a bit thin like her too. I could tell on the pour that it didn’t have that beautiful thick texture like my senior prom date who had a rump like a Thanksgiving dinner - but it’s not that bad. I wish it had more of a thick, rich feel - but it’s also not Coca Cola thin. Taste is good. Feel is ok. But regular KBS is better imho.

    KBS Espresso was good from what I recall. Hazelnut was bordering on "artificial tasting" territory to me.

    Hazelnut uses artificial flavors. For $6 a beer, I’m not paying for artificial sweeteners.

    I think the Espresso was well made, bold, and quite delicious. “KBS+”.
    Hazelnut is like the city in Texas: “El Paso”.,.
