Huge sweet maple, cinnamon not overpowering but adds to the alcohol warming… great winter sipper

Mid-bodied, quite flavorful wee heavy. Cinnamon bourbon maple vanilla, in that order. Deceptively light for 11%. Enjoyed it as a sipper tonight.

Lots of burnt sugar and a bit of maple and cinnamon. Might like the original better but this is tasty

Founders never seems to fail.. this barrel aged Scotch Ale is like French toast in liquid form. The maple trails at the backend and you pick up the subtle vanilla and cinnamon notes. Definitely boozy and very sweet (syrupy)..a sipper. Worthy of a try

Wonderful. Delicious. Like tossing syrup and French toast into a blender and drinking it. Really nailed the vanilla-maple balance. I swear it’s that vanilla powder in it.

Super rich. Cinnamon little strong at first. Excellent maple. Maybe a little hot/ boozy. Overall great.
