KBS Blueberry

Stout - Imperial / Double Coffee

It’s time to celebrate two decades of barrel-aging imperial stouts with KBS Blueberry. In honor of the 20th anniversary of KBS, we’ve given this legendary beer a dose of Michigan blueberries. The alluring aroma of dessert brings you in, while layers of vanilla, coffee, chocolate, oak and bourbon barrel notes become more profound with every sip. A sweet and sophisticated tribute to a world-renowned beer

Just unrefined barrel all around with an off putting backlash of blueberries kbs has always been harsh compared to bcbs and likes but this is over the top… blue skys blue berry’s

It's Syrupy (and not in a good way). Yes, blueberry is there, but I feel that it's a bit artificial. I can't taste any of the barrel, so I'm not really sure where the barrel aged profile is coming from.

Decent. Not my favorite. Coffee on the nose, but the blueberries come through in the flavor. The barreling definitely works for me but overall just a so-so offering.

Big blueberry. It is what it says it is. Wish I was more a fruit in my stout guy.

Good, not great. The tartness from the blueberries is throwing it off for me

Worth a shot. A little too much Blueberry. It's got a tart undertone from the blueberry and could benefit from more vanilla. Give it a few years of aging and I bet this will be 👌

So back in 2018 (at least right around that time) I had a taproom only blueberry cobbler stout at the Grand Rapids location. To this day, best beer of my life. This is not that. It’s a great KBS and the blueberry tartness cuts the malt of the KBS.

It's decent. I had hoped for more decadent. Needs more barrel. The bueberry is sour and a little too much. Would have preferred something sweeter.

Not great by KBS standards. The barrels and acid from the blueberries contradict each other on the finish.

Last night's offering. Not a huge fan. This beer could have been so much better but the blueberry flavor seems artificial and it has less body than I prefer. It is definitely not measuring up to Lizard of Koz! 🍻

It's acceptable. Still has the good body you expect from KBS, but the blueberry and coffee notes are discordant. Maybe my least favorite KBS.

12oz bottle. Reminded me of a thinner, less flavorful Lizard of Koz. Lightly astringent coffee and slightly-tart blueberries with some underlying chocolate sweetness. Seemed like it was about to turn so I wouldn’t age this one...
