Looking for some Mackinac fudge flavor to go with your beer?
Founders Brewing Co. will release the latest variant of its widely heralded Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) on Oct. 8, and it's sure to raise eyebrows across Michigan: It's brewed with maple syrup, chocolate and Mackinac Fudge flavored coffee from Ferris Coffee, also based in Grand Rapids, and aged in oak bourbon barrels.

The KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge, at 11% alcohol by volume, will be available in 4-packs of 12-oz. bottles and on draft at Founders' Grand Rapids and Detroit taprooms starting Oct. 8, then distributed to beer stores and other taps across Michigan later in the month.
This isn't the first time Founders used Mackinac Fudge flavored coffee for its beer. The Grand Rapids-based brewer has used it with its occasional MF Donkey Stout, which has bold, delicious chocolate flavor and aroma for its 6.4% ABV. Given KBS' reputation as one of the highest rated beers in America, this release should pack more flavor and potency.
KBS, a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout brewed with massive amounts of coffee and chocolate, was once a rare annual release for Founders. But with Founders' massive expansion the past few years - including a 90% majority sale to Spanish beer company Mahou San Miguel in 2019 - KBS' prevalence has expanded; it's now a year-round beer, with several variants released throughout the year.
One of those variants, KBS Espresso, was released last winter. Sea Anemones - Growing Tentacles Through Eating | IE
