I'm usually not a fan of Bourbon barrel beers. This one is better than most I've tried. Vanilla up front, maple on the finish.

A little unbalanced, vanilla doesn't ki k in until the finish.

A bit disappointed in this one. Was expecting more maple and sugary flavors. But couldn't notice much of either. Maybe I got a bad batch.

Not what I want in an imperial. Founders breakfast stout is the standard. This was way to sweet for my taste

Zunde, zo'n hoge verwachting van... Pure vanille bom. Smaakt niet meer naar bier!

Unexpectedly poor showing given my preferences & love for the brewery, especially given how Norm reviewed it. But, a hard pass. Maple & vanilla don’t integrate nearly as well as the CBS standard & it’s the 1st Founders’ beer that tastes at all artificial.

Forgot to check this in the other day. Hated it. Just tasted like fake vanilla.

Slight maple sweetness with more bourbon barrel taste. Nothing special.

Interesting as maple syrup barrel adds a feel like brandy aged, sweet maple and vanilla abound, boozy yet no brandy like strength, soft sweet (not too sweet) and smooth with wondrous aromas in line with sensations from the taste buds.

Nee, vind ik echt niet goed. Veel te zoet. Maar heb het ook wat gehad met die maple syrup toestanden haha

Weirdly over carbonated. Something went wrong here.

Boozy berries on the nose. Flat with no carbonation. Sickly sweet in the mouth, a combo of both maple and Imitation vanilla. Not a big fan. Ok to taste, but that sweetness fatigues over 2/3 a can. And you hope for the booze to kick in to finish it.

I assume it’s me but I thought it was thick and very sweet. A bit much for me.

A little too sweet for my taste but worth finishing in the great outdoors.

Very vanilla forward. Although I like the vast majority of their beers, this one is a miss for me.

I’d say it’s a decent stout, but too barrel-y for me. I’d rate it lower if my rank system was actually calibrated to a 5 point scale, but it’s not. Day 1 advent calendar for Christmas tree day seems appropriate. Cheers to the start of christmas🌲

I didn’t see the “barrel aged” part until I was opening it. I hate barrel aged beers because I don’t want beer to taste like bourbon.

Reminds me a bit of a less boozy DKML. It’s not bad just not that great.

Previous check-in might've been slightly generous. It's just ok... should've just bought one. But not letting this second one go to waste.
