Delicious. May seem like more of a dessert beer but it was also good for happy hour while watching a cold rain move in. Cinnamon and vanilla are subtle while the maple is more pronounced. The barrel aging rounds it out nicely. Nice cold day warmer.

On the nose this beer deserves a zillion out of 10. Taste is still very amazing but that smell just hyped you up too much. Getting that vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup, and chocolate chip pancake all squeezed into a glass. Excellent cabin brew.

This beer on the nose is a 4.75. Magnificent candle quality vanilla maple cinnamon scent. On the palate maple pancake vanilla heaven draped over a strong scotch ale the stings a little… in the best way possible..

Well, it's French toast and bourbon, what else is there to say? Extremely sweet & maple-heavy, though there is actuallya nice little bit of roasty coffee bitterness that hangs out on the back of the tongue to finish and stop things getting TOO cloying.
