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.

Protip: it's pronounced Mackinaw. Smells great. Tastes okay. Thin. Sweet. More chocolate than maple. Not a ton of coffee.

Just a bit better than the espresso variant. Not a fudge fan in general but this was still pretty decent. Very roasty.

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

Not bad but thin. You can taste the carbonation in this. Dark choc fudge for sure.

I don’t get much maple, fudge or barrel. Just a pretty standard stout. I hope the rest prove me wrong.

I see great ratings for this one, but I feel like it needs to age out. My bottle was very syrupy, no bourbon or wood to be found

Way too much cocoa, not a lot of maple. Bitter like dark chocolate, which I like. Not bad, but might be better with a little more maple flavor.

Disappointed in this. Hopefully just a “bad batch” but very rarely do stouts disappoint us. After nearly 2 months without a beer we were hoping for much better.

I was hoping the fudge and maple would mask the coffee better. Not so much. It’s good. Just too much coffee for me.

Last day of work in 2020! If 2021 is half as good as 2020...wait, nevermind. Oh, this beer smells exactly like fudge, taste is a little to sweet for my liking

A coffee chocolate aroma yes but no deep rich fudge flavor. Maybe it needs to breathe a bit. Either way certainly one to find and try

Smells amazing, tastes of cold brew coffee, sweetness, nice and rich. Not as good as standard kbs or cbs but still very good. Maybe too sweet.
