KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge

Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee

Michigan didn't invent old-fashioned fudge, but it was perfected here. We pay tribute to this time-honored tradition with KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge. By amplifying the rich chocolate notes of KBS using Mackinac Fudge coffee, then adding maple syrup and aging it in oak bourbon barrels, we've created a bold new take on our barrel-aged classic - one that could only have originated in Michigan.

A nose that yells chocolate bourbon fudge. This is like eating grandma’s fudge and slinging back a chaser of Knob Creek. It’s delicate and oaky with a maple hint and just a touch of coffee. Bold, beautiful, barrel-aged beer. All good things start with B

Tons of fudge/chocolate syrup throughout. Light-moderate maple syrup comes in the finish and mixes with some light coffee and mild bourbon. Very good, but the chocolate/fudge is a little too dominant for my preferences.

Really well balanced. Great new variant. Maybe this is why CBS was discontinued? 🤔

I thought I was going to enjoy this more than KBS & CBS, but that's not the case. I'd like more of the Mackinac fudge. But now I release it Mackinac Fudge Coffee, not Mackinac Fudge and coffee. So I get a lot more coffee than fudge but it's still awesome

Nice body and mouthfeel but way too fresh. So dry from the oak...needs some time for the flavors to come together.

Pros: creamy, fudgey, slight maple, tastes nothing like 11%. Cons: I'm down by 120 points in fantasy football. The beer has no cons.

Not as much barrel flavor as expected and fudge flavor is really forefront. Good bit different than normal KBS, still excellent. Cheers to check in #1500

Way sweeter than I expected. Light maple, followed by rich chocolate/fudge, finishes with a dry chocolate, almost like drinking chocolate milk.

While this doesn't completely right the wrong of removing CBS from their lineup, its a step in the right direction.

Maple on the nose. Chocolate/coffee strong. Not a LOT of maple flavor and is thinner than expected. BUT, I dig it.

The maple is present, the chocolate is there. You get the same KBS coffee and vanilla feel. It is so nice to not have a lactose stout.

Super chocolate, very little residual sweetness from the maple. While this coffee melds very well, for me it makes it more of a one note chocolate bomb.

I have to put this higher than cbs 18 and 19 in taste. Delicious. Very good maple and choc. Coffee is subtle and not a bitter compared to regular kbs.
