KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023) Bean

Bourbon. Malt. Chocolate. Not much spice. Still solid, but underwhelming for a kbs variant.

French Toast Bastard Bean

No surprise- it’s good, and delivers exactly as advertised: maple, vanilla & cinnamon overlays to the stellar backwoods bastard chassis. Be warned - it’s pretty sweet: sippin brew, and one is plenty

Dirty Bastard Bean

Reliably enjoyable…

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Bean

Good - distinct cinnamon, vanilla & bourbon- but just didn’t come together as brilliantly as I anticipated…a tad undersweet, but it’s more that vanilla-cinnamon-bourbon just isn’t a seamless match…there’s a third wheel there regardless.

Dirty Bastard Bean

Always good - malty, toffee toddy

Backwoods Bastard Bean

Always good - and it’s damp & cold outside, so this warmer fits perfectly

Panther Cub Bean

Sweet. Maple. Chocolate. Coffee. All playing nice together. So smooth it was gone before I knew it.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Bean

“Oh F-uuuhd-j (but I didn’t say fudge..I said THE WORD, the big one, the queen mother..)”. Good, but asymmetrical. Canvass is the expected coffee & bourbon; chocolate is the overbearing star; treacle adds sugary decadence. Incredibly rich; #oneisplenty

Más Agave Grapefruit (2020) Bean

Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty neat. Pretty neat. Grapefruit version of the successful tequila BA margarita tribute. Tasty & fun but a little syrupy.
