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

Interesting. Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. Worth a single bottle purchase. Really nice classic KBS chocolate and coffee flavors dominate w a general tart berry flavor alongside. Not as sweet as I thought it would be. The finish is not good w bitterness

Truly, & shockingly, solid. Such balance with blueberry in a stout is tricky.

Blueberry was there, but not a prominent flavor profile. A great morning coffee stout and pair it with a blueberry muffin/scone and you’re set for the day!

Yup all the adjuncts register well here. Blueberry syrup joined by decadent sampling of coffee, chocolate, vanilla

Little above average but my least favorite KBS. Blueberry flavor is upfront.

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! 🍻

Blueberry is all on the nose, smells artificial and tastes like an infected stout they tried to save with adjuncts

Blueberry nose, sweet and subtle, the bourbon is a little masked. BOD 7/10/23

< 4.25 > 4.00. Good blueberry flavor, but a touch too sweet. More robust stoutyness or some coffee might help.

Blueberry is a tasty addition but also lightens the overall stout base. So it’s a little give and take. Easy to drink if you want a lighter flavor in a heavier beer.

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

Super sweet are not the words that come to mind when I think of KBS but this variant is just that. Makes my burps tasty.

Another great KBS. The blueberry almost lightens it up a bit. More on the subtle side with the blueberry.

As fantastic as the original, this Blueberry KBS really shines with food. Before food, the blueberry was almost unnoticeable, but with food, that blueberry slides across the tongue immediately showing you it’s joined the party!

Super creamy head! That's what she said 😆! Almost comes off like a nitro. Thin and doesn't drink like 11% definitely a strong coffee on the front end and finishing with a natural blueberry, vanilla and oak bourbon 😋. That 11% creeps up lol 😆 💯

Not nearly as much blueberry as I was expecting. There’s definitely some fruity berry tartness there but other imperial stouts I’ve had have this same quality without adding fruit. Not bad, but disappointing based on my expectations of a blueberry bomb.

Correct looking pour. Smells like chocolate covered blueberries. First sip is pretty much standard KBS, midway the blueberries step in. Tart, they step upfront and stay. Finish is smooth, more standard KBS but the tart blueberries are still lingering.

After going through a 4 pack. I don’t like it. Had an off putting bitterness. Not hoppy but weird berry funk/sourness. I love KBS and blueberries but not this.
