Hopefully, it will be better after it ages a bit.

French toast indeed. Very sweet cinnamon maple nose. If you like sugary sweet this would be your jam.

Yep, it tastes just like French toast. I feel like I should have a bacon chaser with this. Cheers!

If this were not a scotch ale I would have passed. But I was intrigued and happy I tried it. Maple syrup starts out and is quickly followed by cinnamon. As it warms up the bourbon flavoring enters and just makes it a damn fine ale.

Good, just a tad heavy on the cinnamon for me.

A sweet sipper perfect for this weather.

The base is my favorite Founders beer ever, and the adjuncts all but dominate it, but that’s not to say it’s pretty decadent. A touch harsh being fresh as regular Backwoods is. But the unfermentables are pretty well balanced, could’ve been a mess.

Wow, lovely nose. Reminds me of that French toast cereal from the 90s. Flavor is a mix of vanilla bean and cinnamon sugar. Touch of dark roast coffee and burnt caramel. Way better than the prior version I had.

Definitely a maple bomb but dang good!

The French are assholes

Cinnamon, maple, zero barrel. The OG version killed this.

John Moster

Sam Greenbush

Better than the brewery-only release a few years ago. Maple, cinnamon, and barrel deliciousness. Smells incredible.

Super boozyyyy

This year its elevated to a 5/5. Unlike many BA maple beers that are an ambiguous “sweet” flavor, this one genuinely tastes like French toast. Accurate adjuncts, 11.1%, and $14.99 for 4 make this a solid value beer.

Missing the buttery body the previous version had. Still quite good but missing that certain something

As advertised, liquid French toast with a side of bourbon

Had this on tap at a tap takeover a couple years back. Now it’s in distribution (finally)! And it’s still amazing.

Sweet sticky maple a warm boozy finish

Sweet and savory. Cinnamon isn't overwhelming, which can be difficult to do. Vanilla and maple compliment each other quite nicely.
