Picture custardy French toast, infused with cinnamon and vanilla, fresh from the griddle and drizzled with warm maple syrup. Now picture that in a glass. Boom. Mind blown.

Maple French toast goodness in a glass! Legitimately one of the top 10 beers I’ve ever had!

This one didn't meet my expectations - it was more based on other FB beers I'd had...the smell and taste were as billed, nice French toast likeness, but it was just too thin for me. I felt it was way too light for what it should have been. The bottle did have a couple years on it, but that hasn't seemed to effect other FB beers I've had, or the other attributes of this beer - feel should be less effected by age anyway.

22oz bottle poured into a snifter
A- pours deep brown in color with a one-finger foamy off-white head that eventually reduces to a ring around the edge
S- maple aromas jump from the glass, along with complimenting notes of bread crust, vanilla, cinnamon, vanilla custard, toffee, bready brown malts, this smells just like french toast
T- sweet maple syrup flavor up front, followed by notes of vanilla custard, cinnamon toast, hazelnut and brown sugar. Bready malt undertones, the finish gives cinnamon and maple with a bready linger
M- medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a creamy mouthfeel that continues into the finish
O- as advertised, smells and tastes just like french toast, another winner fro FB

12 oz bottle served in a Belgian snifter.
Pours very dark brown, nearly opaque in the snifter, with a decent tan head.
Smells like french toast with syrup with some alcohol soaked hops in the background.
Flavor: bittersweet; less sweet than expected by the finish and aftertaste. French toast with syrup and cinnamon is the dominant impression.
Feel: medium+ body and medium carbonation.
