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.

Another hit from Founders, coffee and chocolate flavor, boozy and strong but that’s to be expected from an 11%

Inderdaad is er een enorme fudge smaak aan de KBS toegevoegd. Goeie smaak, maar ik vind het origineel denk ik toch net iets beter

I decided to mix the maple Mackinac with the espresso. Glad I did. You get that mega chocolate fudge flavor with the strong espresso coffee as well. It’s a perfect combo!

The sun won't cooperate today so it BB time. Coffee nose, Coffee up front, light barrel, nice chocolaty backend. Just the right amount of heat. Nice but I'm just not a coffee added kind of dude.

Coffee, maple and fudge on the nose and in the tasting notes. Also some decent barrel characteristics as well. Unfortunately it has the body of a Dr Pepper and some acidity on the finish. While it was good and I would drink it again I wouldn’t seek it out

Very subtle coffee flavor on the tip of the tongue followed by dark chocolate, bitter bitterness. Smooth maple syrup finish. I actually like the order of flavors; each stand out distinctly.

I think Kristin B. felt bad watching me choke down that nasty-ass GC seltzer so we decided to get into something better.

Great nose, nice chocolate. Very subtle maple, nothing near as sweet or full as CBS, but a touch sweeter than the base.

Like how roasty it is just wish it had more barrel heat and maple. Letting it warm up

Pretty well the "best" beer I've had since my initial experience with the similarly-intense Founders CBS. Deep melding of chocolate with maple, coffee, and bourbon. Wow.

Oh ho ho! This is really good! First time I’m trying this variant. Drinks like a glorious chocolate fudge cake! Now that I know the CBS is gone, this will be the beer to look out for me from Founders!

BAC#7 - Flavor as big as Big Mac itself 🌉 Fudge and that Ferris coffee are most prominent. I can smell that coffee when grabbing the glass, wow. Bourbon chimes in at the finish. I think this has to be my fave KBS of all-time. 🎊

Good solid stout with maple flavor, much lighter than expected, almost a coffee finish to thin it out a bit.

Way to much chocolate fudge and not enough bourbon or maple. I’ll still with the original!
