Not too bad. Makes you feel like a fatass because the maple is so strong

Really strong maple syrup. Sweet with alcohol warming. Vanilla comes through in the finish. Tastes a little like french toast, but honestly more like bourbon with the boozyness. Great beer for a cold winter night.

Advent Beer Calendar Day 6: Absolutely my jam. First flavors I got were brown sugar and spice, I thought this might have been a gingerbread stout. Anyway, boozy sweet stouts are the path to my heart. 13/10

Now that my taste is back, it’s delicious! Strong maple syrup nose and flavor, with cinnamon undertones and booziness 🍻🍻🍻

(Karma) Incredible! Before I even picked up the glass I could smell the maple. The strong maple flavor is the perfect disguise for the high percentage.

Good beer to hang the last of the outside decos. Just warm enough to hang outside. Any day in December that breaks 40 I’m down with. Cheers to Pearl Harbor day. Never forgetting 💣💣🏝️

The maple and cinnamon take over and become annoying. Sounds like it ought to be great, but it doesn't work for me, just seems harshly sweet.

This is pretty great. Nice caramel and bourbon notes following almost immediately by the cinnamon and vanilla back end.

Pretty good... definitely took a sip and thought french toast. Very smooth and delicious. Hard to drink the whole bottle tho.

Nose knocks you back. Thankfully the heavy sweetness is cut with a mild bitterness. I think it'll be cool to see how this one ages.

The maple smell and flavor, while strong, seemed kind of artificial and off putting to me for some reason. Had to pair this with some delicious cinnamon pretzels (thanks Denny) to make it through.

All adjuncts present and poppin! I enjoy sweet pastry beers, but this is a tad too sweet even for me. That said, still delicious. A cool take on a classic BA wee heavy.
