Did not see the ABV on this one. But what the heck. Lainie just completed her undefeated 5th Grade volleyball season with the end of season Tournament Championship! That is one buzzy yam.

They used the colored printer on this. Very herby/anise

I really do not enjoy this. It tastes like a syrupy scented candle. Very uninteresting barrel character and so artificial

Maple flavour hits a bit too hard. Almost sickly sweet.

HOLY SHIT! This is the strongest beer I’ve ever had. At 13.1% this is pretty undrinkable to me. It is way too strong for its own good. Little maple flavor and some spices. Maybe I’m a bitch but this too just too much.

Spiced rum. Very sweet. Very boozy. Reminded me of strong old ales. Not really a fan. Wish it was more of a stout in character. Ah well - worth a shot.

It's alright, but dark beer usually isn't my thing. I was hoping for a little more sweet, but did taste maple. Definitely only need one in the evening

The fall melange almost masks the bourbon flavor. The booziness comes out more after each sip. Also a tad syrupy.

That’s a no for me dog. Off-putting smell. Maple up front that is very syrupy. The bad part is the finish. Anis seems to have made its way into the spice mixture.

Too sweet for a pumpkin beer. Right up front you get the barrel and maple but where is the pumpkin spice

Good overall review… because it’s a BA Founders concoction? Hope you *love* allspice and cloves, because you’ll get a shit ton of that soaked in some boozy booziness. I generally like autumn spice forward beers, but this too much.

VERY strong, can definitely tell it’s barrel-aged. Also extremely sweet from the maple syrup. Not my style

It's like a glassful of vanilla extract with a note of porter. Not getting much pumpkin spice. Extremely sweet. If you want vanilla maple ice cream it's probably for you.

WAY too sweet. I don't mind the pumpkin, but it's more sugar than anything. Sorry Founders.

If you’re looking for something sweet it may be for you, but it has a syrupy smell and taste that I found overpowering

I think it may have gone bad since it was bottled over 6 months ago. Found at the Wegmans pick your own and , just not right.
