I havnt had the original in awhile but hold it to high regard, this is a nice fall beer but is a little to pastry for the style.

Douglas Rooney

Very decadent and sweet. I like it but it sits so heavy.

Voice Over

A lovely French toast nose TAsting: punched forward maple, ,a LOT of maple, cinnamon, sugar. Very sweet,this finishes with an odd,off note on the back that I don't like...

French toast, bastard! As advertised. Booze just keeps it from the cloying level sweet.

Tastes like the French Toast Crunch cereal they used to make. A little too artificial for me.

Derrick Affolder

Maple-forward but not cloying. The maple is thin followed by sweet pecan, creamy vanilla, rich caramel, medium/light roast coffee notes and toffee. Had to adjust the rating down because the sweetness becomes a bit too much after half. I miss BA Backwoods.

Crowd was 50/50 on this. The artificial adjuncts mask the Backwoods base which is tasty in its own right. This was ok if a bit sweet. Much prefer regular backwoods

Warbird

Tastes like a S’mores rather than French Toast. Still decent

Andy Carr

Tim Watson

Matt Switzler

Disappointing, especially because I like regular Backwoods. Slight chemical sort of taste. Regular Backwoods please.

Pancake in a glass. It’s a love/hate relationship.

Ryan Curran

Todd Adams

Tastes like French toast. I guess that’s the point!

Lauren Lobeck

Joel

Prefer the unadulterated versions of this beer.

Lisa Huish

Mixed with Smelter Town Clark’s Copper Ale !

Ken K

Good, but a slight funky finish. Maple scent is good on the nose.

Chase Holliday

Brian Rinderle

With bacon!!!

Matthew Cohen

I want some fuckin SHRIMP (french toast)!! Smell on point, flavor not as much. 3.8

Happy Rieker Beer Advent Day #6!

Ken Smith

A little heavy on the maple and a little burnt tasting on the backend but enjoyable. Go Army! Go Navy!

Andrew Maple

Ray VanSteenkiste

Tasty

Rob

Nice start, harsh aftertaste that I don't love against the French toast flavor. Want this on a brown vs a scotch ale.

Brad Teagan

Michael gifford

Maaaad sweet at first but I’m getting used to it.

Joshua Jordan

Bill Blackford

Beer #13...alot of sap...and horsepower!

Andy Evans

Very maple syrupy upfront to the nose and through out the entireness of every sip!(used some made up words)

Kurt Mozzone

Andy Garcia

Ryan Barker

Maple syrup and pancakes.

Brad Hipsher

Matt Jones

Hunter Campbell

Sue Aldinger

What! French toast in a bottle!! Smooth and creamy.

Brian C

Definitely can't avoid the cinnamon and vanilla. Curious if this will mellow a bit with more aging.

Ben Piltz

Bobby Wargolet III

Tasty, but clearly extremely artificial. It lists both the maple and vanilla as extracts which is evident Even before knowing. Thanks Edwin G.

It was good, but I drank it thinking it was a different beer. Oops.

This one was too sweet initially, but after the first two sips, it was solid.

Much better, sweet hint of cinnamon

Bob Allen

This beer is all over the place taste wise. Last 9ne was soured... This one is good.

My first time watching the original "A Christmas Carol". Bah Humbug. This bastard is too sweet, more dessert than breakfast

Tastes like straight butterscotch. It smells better than it tastes IMOA. It's not bad but just tastes too fake to me, sorry.

Matt Cavanaugh

Lord Chris Holman

A little too sweet

Carrie Benjamin

Riley Rogers

Definitely got better as it warmed up. Little heavy on the cinnamon for my personal preference. Not bad by any stretch tho.

Too much French… or too much Toast… Either way- too much of something. Still good, but just a bit too much.
