Was afraid it would be too sweet but it was actually pretty balanced.

Sweet, yet subtly boozy, but not overpowering so.

The only thing I can figure is I can’t get past the flavor of the triple dog brown I just had. This wee heavy is dark and roasty, but not overly sweet. No real syrup flavor either. A but if cinnamon but I expected a lot more from a founders brew.

A bit sweet. Too much maple flavor for my taste.

This is pretty good. Sweet. It's sweet. It's mapley and good and sweet. I'm not usually a maple fan, but this is good. Can't really taste the bourbon barrel.

Outstanding maple flavor. Pancakes, err. French toast in a bottle.

Definitely get the maple syrup cinnamon contribution to me. It’s a little bit overly sweet I don’t know what I expected.

As described, it does taste like French toast with a hint of cinnamon a little sweeter than I like but still good.

I like maple syrup and French toast when they are the real thing, but in this beer these flavors are, as the young people say, extra, and I’m glad my friend & I split this 10 ounce pour!
