Very nice tasting bourbon barrel-aged scotch ale. It has the essence of smooth maple, warm cinnamon and notes of sweet vanilla for an incredibly decadent brunch-inspired sipper, one taste you’d swear you were diggings into your Sunday French toast.

One of the most fragrant French toast brews ever. Vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. The scotch ale base is a little thin for the profile but sldamn if it isn't still good. Not overly sweet

The maple and cinnamon balance is perfect, with roasted malts coming in also. Awesome stuff.

Smells like French toast. Tastes like I should dip my French toast in it. But lighter, not syrupy.

Maple and cinnamon nose, w, a body of maple, warming cinnamon, and light vanilla. Finishes lightly sweet, w/ great maple and cinnamon flavor. Outstanding! Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Super sweet. Dangerously deceptive at 11.1% ABV. Tastes like a bite of Red Apple diner French toast….with a shot of bourbon in the syrup. Well done fellas.

Oh yeah. I really like Scotch Ales. Some of my beer friends don't, so they may not be as big of a fan as me. Lots of maple, cinnamon, and vanilla. A bit on the sweet side. I hope to share the next one.

Founders nailed the flavor profile with their description. She's a dessert sipper.

Smoother than the original, less boozy. A little heavier on the cinnamon than I'd like but they capture the the French toast flavor well.

Liquid French toast. Barrel is very minimal, light body, cinnamon and vanilla very prevalent, lots of maple in the nose.

Glad to finally try this one! I didn't get it during the Mothership Series release. It's a dessert beer for sure, although it is fairly balanced. Maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon bomb! 🍻

Aroma is sweet, cinnamon and vanilla. Taste is vanilla and cinnamon dominant. ABV is well hidden by layers of flavor. Dry finish with lingering cinnamon.
