KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023)

steve

the spiciness is subtle, which is good. definitely not my favorite KBS, but it’s nice to try once.

Paul Goldschmidt

Surprisingly dry, which is odd because regular KBS is super sweet. Not much chocolate, but I am getting the chilies.

Andrew Goff

No spice at all just chocolate and lite.

Paul Hudacko

DELICIOUS!!

Kara Severson

My favorite stout is a chocolate chili pepper stout and this doesn’t disappoint. A little sweet. I don’t think I could handle another 10oz due to the sweet. But this spicy imperial stout hits the right notes.

Sniff test is chocolate. Taste is thin with flavors of chocolate and chili peppers.

A solid chocolate chili stout but there could have been more chili to it.

spicy my butt

Jay Preisner

Heavy, dark, boozy, deep roastiness, sweet, taste the chocolate in the after mellowness, the earthiness and mild spice could be the mole attempt which is good and not overdone.

A silky thick chocolaty coffee malt beauty with notable chili pepper bite. The whisky barrel seems to marry seamlessly with the spiciness. Beautiful smooth feel.

Jamie Johnson

Great flavor with this one. It had a little bit of spice all the way through. Thick and heavy just as I like it.

Michael Sanderson

James Born

Not really spicy just okay. The espresso one is the only variant I like. The original is tough to beat.

Andy Evans

Not spicy at all. If you’re gonna say it’s spicy at least put some heat into it! 💨

Chris Gordon

Scott Dexter

Joshua Sawyer

Not really spicy, but definitely chocolatey

Stout Boss

It's Mexican hot chocolate esque. It's not spicy enough to check that box ✅.

Not really spicy at all. Wouldn’t call it a Mole either. More like regular KBS. Good none the less, just not what I was expecting based on label.

Mild hint of spice, otherwise solid stout and sneaky.

Spencer

Not that spicy but enough to cut into chocolatey sweetness

I am a huge fan of KBS and have been for the entire eleven years I have been a follower of Craft Beer, and the rating on this is just too low. I think people have a tendency to be overly critical of KBS variants. The spiciness is mild, the chocolate rich.

Jared Milewski

Very nicely done. Kissed with sweetness and slight spice. Not over done. This is harmony not a hostile take over

Sean Kottke

That’s a spicy KBS! Well, not too spicy, but delicious nonetheless

KBS rarely disappoints. Add a rich chocolate and a smoky chili pepper - this is almost as good as it gets. You still have some of the coffee coming through. The only thing that could make this better is a touch of cinnamon. Also love the thick mouthfeel.

Craig Johnson

Randy Redenius

Varick Teller

Chocolatey. Almost as good as Maple Mac KBS.

chris hildenbrand

Pretty good chocolate flavor on this with a small amount of spiciness

Jeff Brownell

Travis Jones

Black opaque, light chocolate head, nice aroma of chocolate, hints of pepper and coffee, thick body. Melted chocolate start, with peppers hitting the back of the throat and light coffee slight earthy finish. Barrel presence comes out in aftertaste. 4.15

Mitchell Ferguson II

The chilies are more in the flavor than heat. Super slight amount of heat. Decent chocolate flavor, noticeable coffee. Bourbon and oak are both present. Not my favorite variant, but it's tasty. 4/5

Brian Stubbings

Chocolate and sweetness was subtle.

#ThursdayNightStout. This is “fine”, but I still think base unadulterated KBS is as good as (or better than) any of the adjuncted versions or variants.

Tom Doobie

Josh Dowd

Tony Fonte

Subtle chocolate and chili notes, while very drinkable for a high ABV.
