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.

I really like this, all the adjuncts come out in a nice subtle way. Some barrel as well, really like that the adjuncts blend well and are there but don’t over power. Thanks Bryan!

Yum. Probably the best KBS I've had, but still no CBS. Big fudge and maple on the nose. Coffee too. Flavor follows aroma but more coffee and bourbon barrel come out as it warms.

Total Wine & Spirits had a Founders end-cap. Had to get a couple of these KBS 4packs. Amazing flavor. Michigan beer in Cali just feels right.

Wow this is incredibly well done. Might the best version I’ve had, besting the original even. A hint of CBS from the maple, the tried and true KBS barrel, chocolate, and coffee notes. Then the fudge really hits you on the finish. Fantastic!

When comparing it to the base. There are no words. Its like CBS and Fudge had a baby. Lol

Probably a little over rated but it’s not bad. The coffee is strong and slightly bitter but the sweet maple does help it a little.

KBS is a big coffee stout. This deviates from that. Maple, fudge cherry? Yes. KBS no

This is the real deal. Big fudgy chocolate. Coffee and maple. It all blends together to make a fantastic tasty stout. Founders is back nicely with a serious winner. 4.6/5 Thanks for Sharing Rocco F. Benny H.

2nd attempt- room temp: easier drinking (at 11%= scary good) but again, impo too much going on to be a “cohesive brew”-it’s an attempt at a known success (CBS) and for me, falls short.

1st impression: slightly chilled: It’s good, don’t get me wrong, but it’s NO CBS impo-too much going on to focus on individual flavors-a “mish-mash” but a great all around offering.

The nose is fantastic. Huge dark chocolate and fudge notes. Flavors are explosive and deep. Maple syrup mouthfeel and sweetness against dark fudge, with little coffee involved. A superb modification of KBS!

Drove to GR from Kzoo, but turned away from the door around 7pm. Thankfully the General Store was still open and this fantastic KBS variant was available for take out. So good!
