I love Founders, French toast and Scotch ales- so how could I not love this? Super rich and boozy, sweet but not cloying, full of flavors of buttery maple, burnt caramel, vanilla and cinnamon. It's only not a 5 because the bourbon notes complicate a bit.

This may possibly be my favorite Founders beer to date, and that says a lot. Wow. Don’t even know where to start.

Outstanding!! Sweetness of the maple syrup cuts the booziness in half.

This is such a brilliant beer. Absolutely pinpointed the French toast profile. At 11.1%, it is somehow not boozy or overly sweet.

Cinnamon first, then breast/yeasty, then a touch of vanilla from the barrels. Maple syrup throughout. You can smell the maple syrup and cinnamon the moment you pop the top. Hint of coffee potentially but not much. Literally like French toast for breakfast

Definitely a sipper! Very strong tastes and would go good with a brunch or breakfast for dinner!

Great fall beer. How do they get this to taste like French toast? I would drink this for breakfast. Plus it reminds me of that Motley song. Consider that Bastard dead! Bastard!

Smells just like French toast covered in maple syrup and booze. So the perfect brunch drink.

Wow....the maple is soooo good. Very dangerous to drink so easily. Some may think it is a bit too sweet. Great variation on Odb!!

Deep amber. Really does smell remarkably like French Toast. Tastes about as close as you can get, in a beer, too. Remarkable maple, amazing cinnamon, with a toasted bread malt in the background. Almost perfect, but I just can’t go 5.00.
