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.

Wow! A bit of coffee, a bit of milk chocolate, a bit maple, and a bit of dark heavy fudge. 11.0% that is a bit prevalent but not over the top.

Really like the nose on it. Wish the coffee was a little less bitter to let the maple and chocolate shine a bit more.

Good stuff. I like the blend of the fudge and maple and coffee. Works very well. Not as sweet as CBS as I recall. I'd go about 4.6 - 4.7 on this. Solid but seems thinner than some of the older Kbs. Probably more of the mass production at play.

Nails the coffee, as usual for KBS. Also, muted bourbon as usual. Fudge only appears as it warms, was hoping for richer and more cocoa. Barely noticeable maple, which is how I prefer maple. Of course, all of the above better as it warms.

Mack-nificant. Not as boozy as other KBS’s due to the high chocolate flavor. Would love to see this again after 6-12 months.

First on the nose is KBS,Coffee. The barrel is strong, but the chocolate and maple produce a smooth and nicely balanced version of KBS. Coffee is still somewhat dominant. one of Founders' best brews.

Didnt go into this with High expectations. I was surprised by the result. Body is Thicker than I thought it would be. Smells like Boozy Chocolate Milk & Maple syrup. Nice Barrel that doesnt overpower the adjuncts. The fudge is in there as well 🍻

In the nose I pick up on fudge, chocolate, coffee, and hints of barrel. After the first sip - maple syrup comes through more as it finishes. I'm drinking this at room temperature. It's worth picking up if you're able to buy a single bottle. It's too sweet

Coffee nose. Cold, get an almost dark chocolate hit with coffee finish. Warm, it's all coffee, perhaps a bit too much. Don't really get any maple.

I think the availability of the regular KBS has really been a bit of a turn off as far as how likely I am to purchase it... And the variants aren't too far off that mark
