There's a lot going on here. And I like all of it. Not overly sweet with maple. But complimented by vanilla, cinnamon, and a "creme brulee" finish.

It’s good but only for about a half a glass. Too sweet for me.

Good flavor, the flavor hides the high booze content at 11%.

First sip had me like, “oh, fuck.” And the rest is history. Founders back at it again with another banger. I knew I should’ve bought two.

Great twist on a classic brew! This literally tastes like I jus forked a piece of syrup covered French Toast. I get the cinnamon, the maple, the bread and vanilla. Even those it's a little boozy, I do like it's still thin. Really really delicious.

The initial drink is slightly boozy, but the finish has the delightful taste of syrup, cinnamon and hints of a chocolate. The real money of this beer is in the finish as it sits in your mouth. Really thin for a stout and super smooth.

this smells like when you’ve had some meat or something in the fridge too long and other stuff starts to smell like it. the vanilla/cinnamon/maple on the palate is accompanied by a bitter finish. maybe we have to wait on this one.

Whoa! This beer is very sweet. Too sweet really. I just taste French toast and nothing else. Can’t find the bourbon. Can’t find the malt. Not my jam.
