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.

(Five variant KBS vertical) Poured from 355mL bottle (bottled 08.09.22 - 11%). Very dark brown with small beige head. Fudgy chocolate, feint maple and coffee underlay. The adjuncts really change this from the original, enjoyable.

Dark brown. Thin head. Light maple note on the aroma, along with some chocolate syrup. The body is heavy on the chocolate syrup, like whatever chocolate pump a mediocre coffee shop spurts onto whipped cream...so here's a stout for people who don't like stout modelled after a coffee for people who don't like coffee.
Thanks, Ryan!

🇦🇷 2-1 🇦🇺. Messi magic, a howler from Matty Ryan, a wicked OG, and of course, this brilliant save at the death by Emmanuel Martinez sends La Albiceleste through!
Chocolate fudge, coffee, no maple, which is disappointing.
