Not bad, but maybe a bit heavy on the cinnamon.

Superb ale. Not too sweet and brings the booze. Real easy to kill a 4 pack. I hope this never goes away.

Wow. Desert/pastry ale to the extreme, all in a good way. nothing tastes artificial, sweet but not overly sweet. balanced. Wanted to not like it, but it works for me.

I literally googled "French lesser Tiffani Amber Thiessen", which was of no help. SO, bonjour Sophie Marceau !

From Saturday. This was great—delicious french toast with none of the burnt flavor that everyone else was getting IMO. Thanks Josh C.

A bit too far in the ‘French Toast’ direction, but quite a unique beer in it of itself!

"Smells like sweetness" the wife says as she winces. Comes on fairly strong with a syrup flavor...I can get the French toast moniker. Ends up with a bitter that's a bit too much and lingers a bit too long. It's good.

It really does taste like french toast. It smells like it too! Great winter beer. I wish I was enjoying this in Vermont. That was the first place I had a founders barrel aged beer.

If my breakfast french toast tasted like this, I'd be hammered by the time I got to work.
