KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020)

Stout - Imperial / Double

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.

This beer is not chocolatey. It doesn’t taste like maple. Apparently, Mackinac Fudge is a coffee they used. Who knew? I don’t love coffee stouts, that said, this stout is very good. Not worth going out of your way for, but very good.

Delightful - fudgy goodness all around. I just love how the bare hint of maple comes in as a complement to the chocolate richness. Winner of the flight by a nose over the espresso, this is luscious and silky where the espresso oozes overt braggadocio.

I think CBS still wins, but this is excellent and I definitely need to buy more.

Whole lotta fudge, subtle maple flavor. Impressive but that espresso variant rocked it.

Smells and tastes a little like a tootsie roll. Glad I have 3 to cellar.

101420 LCI- IMO, leading the pack of recent variants. Dominant fudge with a gentle underpinning of bourbon and oak, maple is lost in translation.

This was decent. Solid coffee/maple but base is lacking.

This is both good and accurately fudgey. A wee bit pricey, though.

Top shelf KBS new Maple Mackinac Fudge 2020 version. Starts chocolatey and coffeeish with maple and slightly vanilla boozy finish. The pride of MI, it bridges from Grand Rapids to the U.P. via the Mackinac Bridge

Wow so bold and flavorful. Strong coffee with nice hints of fudge. After a few moments the maple suddenly shows up.
